Description:

QuestGarden offers information and resources about WebQuests and a WebQuest creation tool. From the website: "QuestGarden is an online authoring tool, community and hosting service that is designed to make it easier and quicker to create a high quality WebQuest. No knowledge of web editing or uploading is required. Prompts, guides and examples are provided for each step of the process. Images, worksheets and other documents can easily be attached or embedded in the WebQuest, and users have complete control over the appearance of the final lesson. "QuestGarden is modeled after a community garden with all the resources needed to bring great WebQuests to life. Users are encouraged to comment on each other´s work, to share links and images, and to build new WebQuests on existing ones. Rather than starting from scratch, users can bring a WebQuest written by another member of the community into their workspace, modify the content or appearance to suit their needs, and use it with their own students. Attribution to the first author is maintained, and authors are notified when another member of the community makes an improved or modified version of their work."

Possible uses:

Teachers can utilize this tool to help create a WebQuest. Once familiar with the process, teachers can help students use these forms to create their own WebQuest for their peers or younger students. Find news and recent WebQuests others have published. Become a part of this community to share ideas and feedback with colleagues designing WebQuests.
