I think I did a really good concept with my WebQuest, but I was very unfamiliar with how it worked so a lot of time was spent on learning to use the tools and how to setup the pages. I worked on it and re-did a lot of the design. I kept hoping that my design would get better, but it did not. I am most disheartened at the fact that I did not have the knowledge to really make it grow.
I may have designed a WebQuest that was over my head, I had great ambition, but my lack of understanding the Google system made it difficult to really get a good design. Most of the time I was fighting to get in or trying something new that failed. I wish I had had instruction and practice before I took on such a difficult design. All in all I think the concept was great I just used words more than multimedia like some other students. If I had used more I think my quest would have been successful.

Week 10 WebQuest
Here’s my WebQuest:
https://sites.google.com/site/onlineclassroomeducation/assignments
1. What is the purpose of your webquest?
The purpose of my WebQuest is to teach poetry to student at a high school to college level. My quest is designed to use several different areas of teaching including English, Grammar and Art.
2. What about the process of building the webquest was surprising?
I was very surprised to see how easy it was to make the pages. It did not require me to know html or and weird web design.
3. How do you plan to use your webquest?
I am hoping that my quest helps students understand the basics of poetry. I want them to see both sides of the lessons which include art and English.
4. What feedback would you like to receive from others?
The feedback has been very good and helpful. It has helped me fix things.
5. Would other teachers like to collaborate? How?
I have not had any other teachers who want to join in on my WebQuest.
6. What other content area topics would you like to create a webquest?
Other than poetry I would like to design a couple of courses that have to do with more arts and maybe a psychology quest.
7. How would you have your students create a webquest?
I guess I would use the same instructions and give my student’s directions and walk them through the process. I would design a WebQuest and then allow them to see an example.
8. What specific feedback would help you build stronger webquests in the future?
The best feedback I could use would be to go my WebQuest and act like a student so I can have direct feedback as a student sees it.
