Creating a Webquest was a new learning experience for me. I have completed one before, but never created one. Below is a three page webquest guiding grade 4 students through a partnered lesson. This lesson allows me to assess them in a different manner. Students would already have the instructions and be able to work at their own pace in a given time. Naturally students will like this activity if it is not overused, so make them fun and to the point, or find many free templates online. This webquest can be done as a class or in partners as it is listed.
It was very easy to create and again encourages the use of technology within a classroom. My advice after reading more information about webquests, is to keep them simple and clear to a purpose so students don't feel overwhelmed with the assignment and become distracted. Overall, I think it encourages time management skills, personal technology skills, and self motivation - which are all great life skills. Feel free to try mine below or create one of your own.
