WEBQUEST

Last year I did some in-school inservice run by Macquarie University's ICT Centre. The course was called eMints and on the whole was pretty useless, but.............we did do one thing that worked well and that I have used with my students, both last year and more fully this year.

It is a webquest and the students were required to make a "scavenger hunt" style postcard that represented interactivity. In addition to this they had to present all their research and evaluations etc in my Webquest and effectively it has meant that each student has built a "mini" personal website.
