Brain Webquest

brain webquest
Above is the link to my very first webquest. A webquest is an online project that has prepared tasks and links to checked websites.
The brain webquest will be completed in class by the 'Digital Duo' (two students per day using the student laptop). As it will take some time for all students to have their turn it is possible to access this project from here and begin collecting some of the necessary information and planning the Sample Folder title page.
Any concerns with this webquest please let me know as I plan it to be the first of many. We are having some difficulty with posting comments so if you can't comment there send me an email to kelliem@naylandpriamry.school.nz
All feedback is good feedback.
