A WebQuest is basically a tool to help create a website. I choose to use weebly.com for my webquest. This site allows you to add a lot of elements to your site. The options are easy to understand and to implement. You simply drag and drop what element you want to add to your page and then you edit the space. It has been pretty straight forward to use.
For our purpose we used it to guide students through a project. A choose to create a project for a third grade social studies class. With the election not too long ago I planned it based on us have discussions in our class about elections previous to this project. The goal was to choose a president from a list of the top 15 most famous presidents in history. They were asked to research, decided on a president as a team and then to create a glogster to show their classmates. They had to follow the pages and all of the steps before submitting the work at the end. Once I figured out what I was going to do it was fun to work on.
