So the concept of a webquest has slowly but surely made sense to me. They all are about the same. They start with a question (or questions) and the teacher provides links for the students to explore and find the answer to the question(s) presented. I am not sure why this idea so so long for me to comprehend. Through my search for webquest on the internet, I have realized that there are many wonderful home made webquest, and other that are not so reliable. Unfortunately, the first few I tried to explore did not even work! Eventually I found a site that looked reliable and actually had working links. The website is called the Literacy Web and it is put on by the University of Connecticut. It has many helpful things are the site, webquests being one of them. Here is the link to all the webquest the site offers...

Back to the Age of Exploration
I think this is a good source to have because of the variety of webquests it offers to teacher. Another great thing is you do not have to pay to use the webquest, This was another problem I was running into when I was searching for a webquest myself. I really like the list of social study webquests, because that is a subject that could greatly benefit from webquests and would be the easiest to find a need for a webquest. ( I wish there was a synonym for webquest).
I have not yet started my own webwuest, becuase I am totally confused on how to find the document I am to base my webquest off. I anticipate that I will learn a lot about how much work it takes to make a productive web quest. I guess we shall see.
