Since my last post I have had some time to sit down and put some leg work into my Webquest (err, hyper-quest). First off I decided to use HyperStudio because I am so finicky about using fun fonts and graphics that were just not available through Questgarden. Though I have no doubt I will be happy with the result in the end, at this point I am having teensy regrets simply because its much more time consuming building each page with links from scratch. I also do not have some of the templates provided through Questgarden like the evaluation rubric. Luckily with so many sample projects being provided it should be fairly simple to create these missing elements on my own with a little extra time.

I am however excited to be exploring the Hyperstudio software itself. I feel like using it is such a positive experience and is already bringing about such a strong desire to use it with my future students. It is user friendly and very versatile. I also appreciated that when I hit a small stumbling block, Karen (my instructor) was available to help me resolve the issue quickly. At this point I still have many of my pages to assemble but feel as if I am more than 1/2 way done and especially glad to have the preliminary planning of it all out of the way.
