Developing the WaterQuest QuickQuest was an interesting process. To begin, I researched other quickquests and webquests online and in the readings to decide how to proceed. Being familiar with technology, I wanted to do a full WebQuest by creating web pages, links, and so on with all kinds of background information, resources, and other links. I decided the project was more than a QuickQuest and had to rethink how to break down a large project concept into several smaller projects. The QuickQuest I created focuses on beginning concepts of problem analysis to include necessary definitions and initial information gathering activities. The ultimate goal is for students to have an understanding of the "concern" and to develop a conclusion on the safety of their drinking water in the school building.
This WaterQuest in Computer 7 will be implemented to reinforce research and information gathering techniques as well as to reinforce letter composition and creation. Students will be expected to document their progress, to draw a conclusion, and to communicate the process to others.

Expanding this into a WebQuest and creating your own web pages is a great idea! You can also use your blog for that purpose if it is not blocked by your school. That was my intent, before I realized that so many K-12 schools block this blog site.
