Creating WebQuests for Reflection with Web 2.0

creatingwebquests.weebly.com

What is a webquest? a problem is posed, students are given the task of answering the problem students take on a role a product is created resources are directed higher-order thinking transforming information into a new form a scaled-down version of something adults do - authentic real-world problem inquiry based

STAR Legacy Model generate ideas > What do I know? What do I want/need to know? explore multiple perspectives research and revise test your mettle go public look ahead and think back

webquest.org -- good for finding, creating and sharing quests

weebly.com - free source for creating webquests, however I think wikispaces would work just as well Also, zunal.com is a (completely?) free webquest maker
 * weebly only allows you to have two (free) sites at a time
