Webquest Post

Today in class we looked at webquest and it is a site to create online lessons for classes. You can go to it by clicking here. We ranked different lesons on webquest today in groups of four you can view these lessons for yourself by clicking here. The lessons were all pretty good to me because I was the tecnophile and they all used internet links. Some were better though because of the task of making a powerpoint.
