July 6th

I found our Web Based project really interesting. I would imagine it is frustrating for the younger grade teachers, but as a 4th grade teacher, these activities are REALLY great.
I chose to do a Hunt which I think is great. I like this because students are searching the websites given for a purpose. Often, children search the internet aimlessly, but having guiding questions are really interesting.

I am surprised and excited to see this a free service. I can't believe I've never heard of it before! I feel that especially for older students, where surfing the internet is not a problem, these are really fun and engaging activities.

I was wondering though, is there a way to use the hunts or webquests as means for assessment? As the originator of the site, can I see my students responses?
