Webquest Review
I have chosen the Webquest Freshwater Ecosystems from Lauren O'Connor at the below link.

My first impression of the webquest is that it is well organized due to the tabs available to navigate through the pages. The photos are enjoyable to look at and the instructions for the assignment are very clear. I do like the idea of a webquest to assign a project. It can direct the students to use the web links provided, or an instructor may also suggest independent research.
What I don' t like about this particular webquest is that two of the weblinks under the process tab are not functioning. Watercare.net company is for sale, and healthywater.com was unable to load the page, and had to be typed in manually. Not having the proper links is always frustrating for the students, but I'm certain that they can adapt to the situation. I also noticed two spelling errors within the pages. If this assignment were given to post secondary students, it NEEDS to be error free. The links provided are not what I consider professional sites to use for research. These are opinion sites from personal/private organizations. The research must include reputable organizations that are current with the water quality standards.
My overall opinion of this webquest is that it is well laid out. After making the necessary changes to the web links and correcting the spelling errors, this would be usable for a post secondary assignment.
