WebQuest

I've begun my first WebQuest using QuestGarden. Working off an idea from my credentialing program, I decided to create a WebQuest on the following topic: 

This topic is aimed at students who are taking a Spanish class for the first time.

Now, QuestGarden has been an interesting experience. I feel like I'm working with a layout similar to those super cool personal websites all my friends and I made in middle school, you know the ones that featured "favorite quotes" and "shout-outs" - can you tell I grew up in the emerging technology age? Like those websites, QuestGarden feels very boxy and limited.

While I love that QuestGarden shows you exactly where you need to input all your information, I don't love the formatting. Additionally, during my time working on my WebQuest, QuestGarden has often frozen up, failed to save, or refused to paste my copied information.

So far, I have added all my info and required pictures as well as a video. I would like to flesch out the information and provide more instruction for students because currently some of my information is vague and too concise.

Copyright

I ventured over to CopyRight-CopyWrong? to read about copyright laws in relation to education.

After taking the CopyRight Quiz, I scored 76%. Some of the questions were a little frustrating because the concepts had been addressed in the article by Hall Davidson, but some of the questions referred to exceptions to the rules. For example, the article stated that recorded television shows could only be shown in a classroom for up to 10 days after broadcast, and though I suspected that Bill Nye was allowed to be shown for educational use, I went with the rule I had just read and got the answer wrong. Aside from that, I learned that while copyright laws are strict, they are very flexible within the walls of education.

Good luck if you decide to take the quiz.
