Webquests

So we have been working with Webquests and I find them very interesting. I like that thy are something different to use in the classroom. It is an option that is both creative and productive that students can do. We often want to engage our students and these not only help do that, but they also help apply the principles being learned to real life. I have never really done a webquest myself, except for the one we did in class, but I still think students will enjoy them. I definitely think this is something I can integrate into my own teaching. I also really liked the webquest I found today because it applied more than one mathematical concept. It used both geometry and algebra, and it also had different parts for students, so they could work with their strengths to help the group. Another reason why I think webquests are good is because they allow students to work on their own to get their answers and work at their own pace. That is something we strive for as teachers.
