WebQuest

==== Here is a link to my [|WebQuest] called Our Solar System. It is a WebQuest for middle school students that has them research the planets with the focus of deciding whether or not NASA should visit it next over the others. Though setting up this WebQuest was somewhat time-consuming, I do feel that it would be an effective way to teach students on a certain aspect of a class. Considering my own experiences with research as a student, I wish that my teahcers had use this tool to steer us in the right direction. Research projects would be much easier and have less of a bad reputation if teachers would employ WebQuest to narrow their students' field of resources to one group of online and book resources. The task would be less ominous and there would be less of a chance for conflicting information and for students to come across inappropriate or unnecessary websites if the teacher has approved each themselves. I would use a WebQuests for group presentations and research projects. ====
