NECC - Session - Bernie Dodge - Making WebQuest Creation Easier

Bernie Dodge, the real creator of the web quest, spoke about the challenges that creators face when making a web page. He breaks down the problems with creating web quests, the skills needed (both techonlogical and pedagogical). He is posting his PowerPoint. There is a webcast of this session as well - http://www.kidzonline.org/necc/agenda.html.

I wonder about the ways that teachers and students can create web quests that they like and that they created in a library. It would be wonderful to have an easier system for filling out the forms for creating web quests. My thought for our use of web quests is to use Word to create the web quest, find a mechanism for easily saving the links to pictures for the link and then the ability to zip and post to Edline as a web site that it will automatically unload. We need to investigate this further.
