At first I was a little bit intimidated by the Web Quest assignment; I wasn't sure how to even begin. I looked up many different Web Quests, and eventually found a website called "Filamentality". This site allows you to create and play with online options; on here I found an options that helps create Web Quests. It made things so easy by walking me through every aspect. Because I wasn't so concerned on the technical parts of it, I felt like I could be more creative.
I completed my Web Quest in the subject of Economics. Although I created it for a third grade class, I figured that this is a subject that I could adapt to cover many different grades. Because the subject area is so broad, I only covered money, supply and demand, and goods and services. I feel that students should get a pretty good understanding of the topic after exploring these areas. I also used the RubiStar site to create my assessment, which is also linked in my Quest.
The Web Quest was probably my favorite assignement. I had never created one before, and I am not sure that I would ever have thought to do one on my own. Once a topic idea is thought of, and what information you want to be learned, it really is simple to put together. There are also so many great websites out there for children to interact with, and a Web Quest is a great, guided way to allow that interaction.
