Tonights class went very well as teachers became familiar with webquests, how to search for them and how to evaluate them. There were requests for a Webquest 2 class with more searching, extended time to create a webquest and then help posting onto their classroom websites. Lots of learning, laughter, excellent food and fun people made this an enjoyable night! Thanks to all of the Leeds teachers and administration for making me feel welcome!
