I found there was some difficulties co-ordinating the
website. What I had in my head initially was very different from what came out
in the end, but I think I made the best of the facilities I had. I used the “editor”
function in Wix, and attempted to orientate the site in a logical way. I
sectioned it, hopefully giving a sense of completion for each module. I found
difficulties with integrating flash into the presentation.
Wix becomes easier to use with practice but I still found it
quite limiting. You get a lot more freedom with html coding. But as a basic platform,
it serves it purpose.
The only issue you would have in class is if youtube/other
hosting sites failed, and you could not access the content. You could get the
same information from books and other media. The historical information maybe
more difficult to access, but I think you’d have to trudging through encyclopaedia
Britannica.
I really enjoyed the experience of developing these lessons,
and exploring different means of getting information across. I can see why
teachers use web quests as a teaching tool as it allows students to go on the “quest”
for knowledge.
