I was cruising the Internet this morning and did a pass through the new "discover" section of Edmodo. I stumbled on on the the best WebQuest sites I have ever seen, Zunal.com. I could spend years exploring the possibilities, but instead, I had my kids do it. My 6th graders had to browse grade level appropriate sites, find 2 that interested them, and then post the link & a short summary on my original Edmodo post. I can't WAIT to get them started on these projects!

I'm not sure what excites me more, the thought of watching my kids work through projects, the idea of a neat, easy way to write my own, or the excitement of colleagues as I pass the information on.
As T.S. Eliot said, “We shall not cease from exploration and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started... and know the place for the first time.”
