WebQuesting

I loved webquesting! So often we just turn students loose on the internet to find material. I like the control that "questing" offers. Kris made the suggestion of having my college level students design their own webquest as well which is great for a few of my research-oriented writing classes.

BTW Kris, although I have absolutely NO idea the mathematical application of the tessellations, the designs were really awesome to play with - I will make this a bookmark for future diversions!

I agree Sue. Excellent way to control what our students see. Good activity Kris. I've always been partial to Escher.

Thanks Sue,
I am glad you are able to see uses for your level as well. I really hadn't explored that until today, but I think it can be used as we discussed. The interactive site is lots of fun!

I agree, working with tessellations on line was fun and engaging.I don't understand the math either but appreciate the aesthetics.
