I constructed my webquest called "Ask Roland Smith" at zunal.com.
Here is the link http://zunal.com/webquest.php?user=13865.
This was the first webquest I've ever done. I looked at a number of webquest templates and chose this one because it looked easy to work with and because it has separate pages for each stage of the quest. Also, it was free. It is kinda neat to be "published" and have a URL that can be accessed by anyone anywhere. But while I was working on it, there were times when I regretted not having the freedom to add graphics here and there or to differentiate the text to made something stand out. It was simple to make, but then I couldn't customize it. Isn't there always that sort of trade-off in life? I wondered if I could just make the webquest in a wiki or something from scratch. I wasn't sure if that was ever done. Then Alex shared his wonderful PowerPoint solution. Now that I've done a webquest, I feel more confident about experimenting with out avenues next time. Isn't that was learning is all about!

Karen,
I like your webquest. It is very engaging. Also, the site that you used looked really nice. Was it easy to use?
Alex
I also liked the quest, did you use a template or make that up yourself? The layout was very user friendly and much more sophisticated than the template I used.
Thanks, Alex. Yes, Zunal was simple to use! And for my first webqust that simplicity was a good trade-off for not being able to change fonts and add more graphics. Only thing, sometimes I found that even though I thought I had put enough space between lines, when the text was saved, it looked too crowded, so I needed to go back in and add more blank lines.
Thanks, Cindy.
Zunal provides the template with blank pages for each area of the quest (intro, task, process conclusion, etc.) For each page you can upload one graphic that will appear at the top of the page. For the process you can attach up to three document files. You can imbed url links into the text as links, of course.
