Week 9: Webquest

Read about these activities and then visit the example site (Look Who’s Paying the Bill). 
Here are some links to some additional WebQuests:

Crime Prevention WebQuest: (http://www.kn.pacbell.com/wired/fil/pages/webcrimeprjo.html)

That's a Possibility: UFO's: (http://www.kn.pacbell.com/wired/fil/pages/webufosjo.html)

These activities take time to prepare, but can serve as sources for later projects or assignments. In fact, students can develop one of these activities in Filimentality as a class project .

Now write a similar activity. 
Design the activity specifically for a particular course (book and unit). If possible, do it for a course  you are now teaching. Submit it to Filamentality so it will be put on the web (It’s easy—Just go to the Start a New Topic link at the bottom of the page and fill out the information as you go. Remember, have your links prepared before you start.).
If you are teaching the course now (preferable), use it in the class. 
Post a report of the activity and a critique of student response and any problems you might have had. 
Include the following information:
- Site link. (It will be something like this: http://www.kn.pacbell.com/wired/fil/pages/webtolerancja.html )
- Description of target students.                  

- If you used it in class, include a report of how you used it, how it went and a critique of student responses and any problems. Also let me know if you had to rewrite it after using it.
- If you couldn't use it in class, how would you use it?
