Singing the WebQuest WebBlog Blues (aka HELP ME!)

Have you ever just wanted to throw up your hands, wave a white flag, or cry "uncle"?  Well, that's pretty much how I feel at this moment.  Let me elaborate.

The assignment due for tomorrow is to create a web blog.  I'm not exactly sure if by "create a web blog" means what I have done right here on blogger.com.  And if it IS the blog I'm supposed to create, how do I upload it before its due to be uploaded tomorrow night?

The Old Eagle blog has been a place to write about the assignments I've done, web pages I've liked, or discussion on education and educational technology.  I have tried to make each post relevant and correct in content.  Old Eagle has learned a lot, but there's still a lot Old Eagle can learn.

That's where the WebQuest assignment comes in.  I printed off the assignment for the WebQuest so I didn't mess anything up.  First thing I was to do was set up an account at http://www.zunal.com/.  Got that done.  I know all the parts that should be included in a WebQuest.  The next part of the assignment says to "use PowerPoint to create the project."  How do I use zunal and PowerPoint at the same time?  Is the PowerPoint for Dr. Rubin's purposes only? 

When I checked out the WebQuest PowerPoints, and went to click on the links listed in the PowerPoint, I was not directed anywhere.  Was I supposed to go to a link or was that, again, only for "looks?" 

In the majority of WebQuests I looked up, there were usually only 3 jobs listed (3 members to each group).  On our instruction list, we are to divide the students into groups of 4.  Maybe that isn't a big issue, but it is still confusing to me.

So much to do and so little time. I'd appreciate all the help I can get.  I would like to "enhance the appeal of my blog posts", but unfortunately, it's time for Old Eagle to fly away.

But before I end this post, I'd like to share a link with you.  It's a WebQuest on how to do WebQuests.  http://webquest.sdsu.edu/webquestwebquest-es.html.
