Scavenger Hunts/Webquests

This lesson was interesting because I never knew about webquests or scavenger hunts. I saw things like them before, but never knew they actually had rules and a template on how they should be designed. I think these type of activities have great potential for students to spark their interest. There is a gamelike quality to them that make them seem like more fun than traditional book and paper learning. I would like to learn to design my own webquests that are a little more attractive than the ones I have seen during this lesson.
