I read an article about Webquests on Education World's website. It is titled Creating a Webquest: It's Easier than you Think. I like using webquests with students in first grade and up. It is a great way to begin teaching research to these students, and it is a great way to teach putting the answer in phrase form (not copying.) The article tells how to create your own webquest, and the site has many to choose from that someone else created. I have a first grade teacher at my school who does at least one webquest every three weeks to a month. The students usually use the information to write and then type paragraphs. There are many 21 century skills that are incorporated into these assignments. Webquests are a great technology integration tool!

I am very impressed that you have a teacher at your school that does at least one webquest about every month with her students. I can see how there are a number of skills that are involved in creating and using webquests. It is definitely a great technology tool.
I have never done a webquest. I am interested in learning more about how to do them. I can't believe that someone would do this on a monthly basis. I guess it is like anything else, after a while its second nature.
