#56 “Scholastic Instructor Cyberhunt Kids’ Library” – In one of my previous classes here at Webster, I incorporated a webquest into one of my final projects and my instructor suggested that since I liked to use webquests, I should investigate using Cyberhunts in my classroom. When I googled “cyberhunts”, I discovered this site. It is sponsored by Scholastic and it provides a list of readymade cyberhunts that can be used in any classroom. After looking at these sample sites, I think cyberhunts would work better than webquest with young students.

#57 “ICKids” Website - This is another cyberhunt website. It offers a list of readymade cyberhunts that are categorized by age level. Most of the hunts on this site were designed for 5 to 9 year olds. This site also features a place where people can submit cyberhunts that they created themselves.
