I have to admit I haven’t used many Web Quests with my students. Not sure why. The kids loved doing them and they do learn a lot, without actually realizing they are learning. Part of the reason I suppose is because finding a good quality Web Quest is not always an easy task. Yes, I consider myself quite creative. And, yes, I could make a ‘mean’ Web Quest if I set my mind to it. So, what’s the problem? Time…I just don’t seem to have the time.
Well, that all changed yesterday. No, I didn’t find a way to manufacture more time…wouldn’t that be nice?!? What I did find is a fantastic site called zunal.com. An impressive site, I must say. Literally several thousand Web Quests. The ones I looked at were of great quality. You simply register with the site (registration is free) and all the Web Quests are there for your use. I even noticed a program which allows you to simplify the creation of your own Web Quest. I haven’t tried that component. Honestly, I didn’t see a need. Everything I could ever want was already created and ready to go.
