I've finally gotten a chance to post my webquest! It was work using this completely new form of technology/internet, but at the same time interesting. Webquests combine multiple assignments and tedious searching on the internet into an easy to use, effective tool.
My webquest is for Pre-K students, so it is more elementary and requires the assistance of an adult. However, I feel this still serve to be useful in introducing technology to students at a very young age. This tool is even more effective for older children that can read and really dive into these assignments. They combine the use of computers and the internet which children love with assignments they can find interesting and fun. Overall, great tool and enriching experience.

WebQuests and technology in general is a challenge to develop for pre-readers but it is important to introduce these concepts to them, assisting and scaffolding as needed. Generally, they're eager to learn everything and computers are no exception!
