As I talked with Whitney about our thoughts and opinions about the WebQuests, we found out that we each had very different thoughts about what a WebQuest was. Whitney brought up a good point that she thought of the site as more of a resource for lesson plans and teaching tools. I had never thought of it that way and I think it's a great idea. Something that I did differently was that I thought of the page more as an interactive lesson. This is a great tool that can be used in the classroom on many different levels. Any subject can be turned into a WebQuest assignment and become a good hands-on activity for the students.
Wiki's also seem to be a useful tool for classrooms as well. It is a very interactive way for students and teachers to post and edit information in the same spot. This probably wouldn't be a good idea for the primary grades because the students won't understand the internet as well as older students, but this could even be something for parents to interact with as well. Overall I think that both of these are great tools to be used in the classroom for a more interactive and hands on approach to learning.
