Dr. Alice Christie and WebQuests

I went and visited Dr. Christie's website and found a blog about WebQuest. WebQuest is a website of sorts that allows students to share about what they are doing in their classrooms. The teachers can pick the topic and then the students design the WebQuest. The format for each WebQuest is that there is an introduction, task, process, resources, evaluation, conclusion, reflection, extension, and notes to the teachers. This allows the student to share and get feed back from others.

I could definitely see me using this in my science classroom one day. The format for WebQuest is very similar to that of a lab report. This would be a great way for students to do lab report where they can show pictures and have links to other websites. To use WebQuest would be a great way to make lab reports fun and interactive.
