The blog title comes from the story "Who Moved my Cheese?" Two mice and two "little people" in a maze must go beyond their comfortable and set source of cheese to find more in order to stay alive. Likewise, as teachers we must constantly be searching out more technology and resources to help us teach in our fields. We must be ready to adapt, to explore, and not let the 'might of tradition' make us stagnant. This blog helps us do just that.

Proposal for my Final Project
With the first mention of WebQuests in class, I was intrigued. I snooped around online a little to see what I could find out, which proved to be rather difficult since I had no idea what I was looking for. On WebQuest.org I found some information about them, and then a search engine to view them. I opened up the search boxes to see what these said WebQuests looked like. I typed in vague topics like English and writing. The blinking cursor mimicked my confused blinking. Nothing came up with those words. In a desperate attempt, my hesitant and trembling fingers typed in 'math' but still . . . nothing. In frustration, I sighed and placed my hands heavily on the keyboard. In doing so, I accidentally searched for 'ew' and a few WebQuests actually came up. Go figure. Despite these beginning issues, it looks like a really cool piece of technology to learn, especially dealing with collaborative writing or learning historical contexts of books, etc.

Lauren, webquests would be fine for a final project. What in particular are you struggling to find, and can I help? Is it examples of webquests or how to actually create one?
