This assignment is to read over the 7 red flags link and check out the examples of their view of bad and exemplary webquests. After looking through some examples, try your hand at finding your own examples of webquests and rating them. Please post the urls and your reasons for classifying them. Try to find one example of a good webquest and one that needs work. How could you fix it to make it better or is it not a good topic for a webquest?
