I'll start off by saying that I love that QuestGarden exists. My complaints result from me having taken a few other technology classes in the Masters program and therefore having higher expectations. I'm only frustrated because I know that I could build a better website. Not everyone can do that tough. And that's why QuestGarden IS awesome! It enables average people to create a webquest without having much technological know how. My only legitimate frustration with QuestGarden has be with how limiting the options are. I know that it is a free service with an option to a paid subscribe, so of course paid subscribers must have some exclusive options. But realistically they cannot not be significantly different than what is available to free subscribers. I would love to see updated templates and even an updated interface to work in. Adding text and images seemed like a pain because QuestGarden is so particular/glitchy about how things must be done.
Using twitter as a class has been a big help for several reasons. First because it is a quick way to get answers to questions and secondly because I can read about my classmates' shared frustrations. Knowing that others were equally frustrated made me feel a lot better. Really it did!
Where am I now? I've added my text, pictures and formatted the pages like I want them. I would still like to add a few videos and possibly make changes to the student process. I just need to polish things up a bit. I'm excited to see the final product!
