I didn't know anything about webquests before this week. After finding out about webquest I really like them. Webquests provide a more intriguing way of presenting information. I think the students would be more engaged when using a webquest. The only problem I would have would be making sure every student had access to the internet. I like how webquests are divided up into categories. It makes it easy for students to know where everything is at. Also, it makes it easy for the teacher to make a webquest.
I think a teacher can incorporate webquests into any grade level or content area. However, the lower the grade level the easier I would have the webquest and the higher the grade level the harder the webquest would be. Most webquest should be short, however I think some can be over a longer period of time depending on the topic. I think if it was a science topic and you were observing something grow, then it could be over a longer period of time. I would use them in my grade and make them not too hard because I have a younger grade. Also, I could make special webquests to challenge gifted/talented children.
