            This week we had to create a Webquest.  I thought that Webquest, while it had some great ideas, the lessons themselves still needed work.  In order to use Webquest, one must already know basic knowledge of how to use a computer.  The Webquest website is pretty self-explanatory and is easy to navigate.  When I teach, I would probably use Webquest to help me come up with ideas for a lesson plan.  I would however expand on the lesson that is given.  I found some of the lessons on Webquest to be simple and not so creative.  The lessons can be taken a step further and can be more challenging for the kids.  I would also put different options for different children in my lessons.  On Webquest, there was not differentiation. 
                The Webquest that I chose falls under the category of Creativity and Innovation For Students and can be standard A- Apply existing knowledge to generate new ideas, products, or processes. 

                In my student teaching classroom, we do not use Webquest.  My teachers often use BrainPop! but I have never seen Webquest.  I will definitely point it out to them though and have them judge for themselves what they think of it!
