Rock Star Activity

So I actually really liked the Rock-Star Activity. I don't necessarily think that it a lot different from the Webquest activities, however. In fact, I feel as if it was more of a less structured webquest. I guess when I think of what a webquest is, it is using the web to find information and colate that data in some way to hand in for a grade. Now the webgarden quests where very structured, with given websites, helpful because the teacher knows from where the the information is coming. It has set guidelines, a rubric, and detailed instructions on how to go about the activity. The rock star activity was similar, but less structured. There was an assignment that needed to be carried out using the web. The differences arise when the student has free reign to find whatever they want wherever they want to find it. I think this is good because it allows the students more room for creativity and individuality. It also, however, might cause difficulties in keeping track of what the students are doing, or where they are getting their materials. Are the websites reliable. So I feel as if there are strengths and weaknesses to both forms of internet activity, and I do feel as if they are similar in form.
