Sandy [guest] says, "For example, my students did a webquest involving
the solar system. Instead of telling them which of
the planets were more likely to be inhabitable than
others. They were able to use information that they
found on the web to decide on their own. My
students looked forward to working on their science
each day. They used the web as well as various other
materials."

ChristineEM says, "In this day and age facts are easy to obtain, but
teaching children how to make meaning out of
information and think for themselves is the key. I
like that WebQuests are process oriented, that a child
comes away with abilities and skills that apply across
the curriculum."

VennyS bows gracefully.
Marcia [guest] says, "Webquests can and often do involve many subjects.
But do I use a webquest to teach every subject -
no."

JaniceF says, "We tell teachers that they will not be doing webquests
all of the time. In class they do many other activities.
At the same time Webquests can cover many topics."

SuzanneSt says, "With our 3rd and 4th graders, we naturally have a wide
span of abilities and background. The WebQuests let us
build in resources for many ability levels."

PhilipAB asks, "Gosh, half our time has gone by. I'll pop the big
question: what is "implementing WebQuests the eMINTS
way"?"

RobM asks, "BernieD, am I getting closer?"

DianaJH asks, "Who pays for all of this?"

Marcia [guest] exclaims, "Good question about who pays - my students
thought I did!"

DianaJH says, "Ha Ha"
