Evaluation
Choose one of the sites you evaluated and share your findings in the discussion question (Gamified Example: Discussion) so others can decide if this is a resource they may want to try. If you know of another site, you may evaluate and share that site as well.
Conclusion
Effective Web Quests have a built in mechanism for student reflections. When you create your own web quest, you can survey your students about their experience, or have the students send you an e-mail sharing their thoughts. If they are using an online platform, you may wish to create a discussion to share feedback.
