ILP 2 "Design"- WebQuest

     For my second independent learning project I chose to make a WebQuest. At the beginning of the semester we had to do a WebQuest as an assignment. I think WebQuest assignments are a good idea because it helps students with learning the course content as well as how to search the internet to find good sources and answers to the questions asked. I found that the lesson that went along with my technology class, about how different words can control the results you get, was very helpful. I definitely would modify it and only go over a few of the options with my students. Giving them this tool could really help them on their WebQuest's. I was unable to figure out how to attach the document to the blog so I copied and pasted what was in my document.
