Webquests

I had always thought WebQuests were a bit too time consuming for use in a real classroom, but I am pretty sure I only thought that because the WebQuests I did in high school were awful. There was no teamwork and the teachers always allotted way too much time for them. Usually the activity would take me ten minutes then I would have to sit there for another 40 minutes waiting for class to be over. 

However, the WebQuests we looked at in class were really neat! Especially in the context of history, the internet has so much potential to show primary sources, video, and pictures I can't give them with just a book. And I love the team collaboration involved with WebQuests.
