Webquest

My experience with webquest has several positive and negative aspects about it. I like that teachers can easily access teaching ideas and activities for their students to do. This can be easily modified to fit different teachers and different classrooms. Also I have the option of using webquest strictly as a source for ideas, I don't have to make the students use computers to access it. The negative aspect about webquest is alot of the projects involve students personally accessing the internet. I am probably going to work in inner city schools and alot of these schools barely have computers for students. So the idea of students getting online to complete a task or assignment is implausible. Also alot of webquest I found had links that were no longer in use, so it is kind of a pain to go through different webquests to make sure that links are still active. It is much easier to just modify the material and use webquests as starters for ideas in the classroom.
