English Conference

The conference which I attended discussed the idea of using a web quest--like technology in schools. It seemed a little similar to moodle or webct--only this was set up like an actual website that students can go on. The only problem I see with this is if some students do not have access to a computer at home, even though most students do now. I have also taken a a couple online classes and have found that sometimes the information can get confusing over the internet, or if there isn't enough access to the professor to understand the requirements--if any questions arise. Overall, I do think that web quests are great ideas, but maybe should not be relied on so much in the classroom (just as a reference.)
