Webquests, and all the work they entail on the part of the creator: it's all coming back to me. I like webquests a lot, and I always meant to use them more in my teaching, but now I am remembering why exactly that hasn't happened, up to this point. Making one of these things is no quick or easy task. I want to make a good one, something I can be proud of (unlike that Soundation composition) so this is going to take real focus on my part for the next 24 hours.
At any rate, I know that a good webquest is a powerful teaching/learning tool. Given that there is such a large amount of already existing webquests available on the web, I think it would be smart to search what's already out there and use any that I think are worthwhile in my lessons this school year. No point in reinventing the wheel, after all.
The sites search this morning was cool, but also somewhat overwhelming. I found my attention split amongst so many different sites and ideas that it became difficult to really tell what was worth bookmarking and what wasn't. I did love the Isle of Tunes site, and I am curious to try the Plinking site with my students. On the whole, it reminded me that there is a wealth of great music learning sites out there, and I should make a point to regularly integrate them into my lessons.
