Using WebQuest.org can be a great resource in the classroom. I enjoyed that they are something the students can do independently that keeps them actively involved. A lot of the ones presented in class took the students through a process and had them elaborating on subject matter rather than creating a final product without exploring. Another benefit to WebQuest is that it requires students to work in groups. Group work is so important in education. I have also learned of it's importance especially when working with computers.

Some WebQuests required prior preparation and a lot of materials such as one I explored on the 5 senses. I wouldn't have the students go through this process on the computer, but this is a great source for lesson planning on the teacher's behalf. I will definitely remember this site in my future lesson planning.
