Video based on the following WebQuest:
http://www.intime.uni.edu/lessons/026iams/Solar_System_Webquest/INDEX.HTMI was really interested in how well the students seemed to work together in their groups. They were really engaged in the activity and looked like they were interested in the research aspect of it. The teacher also did an excellent job of facilitating the students' learning, I thought. Her comments to the class were helpful, timely, informative, and concise.
From this video alone, it seems that WebQuests would be a beneficial activity to use within the classroom. It promotes the use of technology and enables students to better research for things using the Internet. It also promotes group work and good communication between classmates and the teacher.
Something that might be difficult in doing a WebQuest with a large class is being sure that all the students are on task and not surfing the web.
