Article 1: A Checklist for Evaluating WebQuests

I found this article to be pretty interesting. The article gives some very helpful ideas to take into consideration when using a webquest in my classroom. I actually wish I would have read this before submitting my "task" to Prof. Gersh. While reading the list of recommended criteria for the webquest I thought of many different aspects that I would like to incorporate in my webquest. One tough part about the list is that I need to be careful with incorporating too many of the suggested tips. I like the idea of turning my students into "investigators." I don't know if this will work with my project; however, if reasonable, I might try this technique. I might change my webquest by telling my students that they are members of the UN council, and their job is to determine whether the situation in Darfur is, by definition, a genocide. I will definitely revisit this website.
