web quests

We looked at three web quests -
the first one was on tigers and was very boring - it had not color and only one picture. There was nothing in it to engage you to want to read it.

The second one on frogs was better as it had color and more pictures. I was more inclined to read it then the previous web quest.

The last one was visually good to look at. But when clicking on the links nothing seems to work.
