This week's session was very helpful, and took me back to my childhood days where my friends and I would make scavenger hunts for one another during sleepovers! We would have loved for our teacher's to do something like this in the classroom with us - so these are definitely tools that I want to use in the future to engage students in learning. Web quests are especially neat because they not only help students learn about the material being taught, but also how to use the internet effectively for research.
I also like that there are a great amount of web quests and scavenger hunts already available on the internet. Teachers could sift through some of these to use as inspiration, or students could use them at home if they want to do more web quests during their free time. I have a feeling that many students would enjoy doing web quests and scavenger hunts, so might be interested in doing more outside of the classroom, so it is nice to have them so readily available.
