WebQuest

Happy Halloween everyone!
This week I learned about a new tool to get students researching information: a WebQuest.
I wanted to design a WebQuest about South America. My fourth graders are studying Latin America in Social Studies, and my undergrad degree is in Spanish, so I thought it would be a good way to create something I could use with the kiddos and build on my personal interests.
I used a site called Weebly that lets you design websites for free.
Let me say, this was SO HARD for me.
First of all, it seemed like the site was really geared to people creating wedding websites, or marketing some kind of product. It took me forever to figure out how to bypass all the "themes" and create simple pages like what I want to use with my kids. Then, trying to format the text to look the same on each page was surprisingly hard. Still not sure what I was doing wrong, but even when the font type and size was the same in the "Design" box, it was appearing differently on each page. In the end, I thought it came out OK for a first try, but definitely not up to my perfectionistic standards! I want to find more time to play around with the site and try and figure out what I can do to improve the layout of future sites.
In the meantime, you can view the fruits of my labor here:
