I had heard the term "webquest" before, but I didn't know what a webquest was. It was great to try the Tanka Webquest and make my own. I like webquests because they center around cooperation, investigation and are clearly organized.
The problem, the procedure, resources, grading...It's all there!
We're having a lot of discussion among our faculty about the use of iPods and cell phones in our school and this seems like a fun way to get input from our students and learn more about the issue. I also like that I could find resources that advocate their use and some resources discouraging their use in the classroom. Perhaps we could have our faculty do this webquest so we could all be a bit more informed on the issue.
From a technical standpoint, I'm somewhat happy with the actual website I created. I wanted to try making my webpage using something I hadn't used before and I tried iWeb. I found it very easy to use and figure out, but I didn't completely like the look of my page. With any template you lose some control over your work.
I also uploaded my webpage to Bravehost.net for the first time ever. Bravehost will host your website, but the downside are the advertisements appearing on the site.
