KidQuests: WebQuests for
Young Kids and Emergent Readers/Writers
A KidQuest is
basically a WebQuest for emergent readers and writers. If
you've ever tried creating a WebQuest for young children,
non-readers, or emergent readers and writers, you've quickly
discovered what a time-consuming task it is to find
age-appropriate and developmentally-appropriate web-based
material for these students. As I pondered this issue, the
idea of a KidQuest slowly took shape in my mind.
Below I compare and
contrast the terminology used in WebQuests and KidQuests so you can see the relationship
between the two, and understand the
differences between the two.
