Zunal

**Melissa Brown's review of Zunal:**
Summary Zunal is a website for designing and finding WebQuests. It launched in 2001, to provide free service for preservice and in-service teachers to create WebQuests and share them online. The Zunal WebQuest Maker is web-based software with awesome templates for creating WebQuests. They look very professional. You can create 1 WebQuest with the free membership. If you are willing to upgrade your membership to Pro you can create 50 WebQuests, copy and enhance existing WebQuests, and have access to additional modules to add to your WebQuest. The pro membership is $20 for three years (55¢ a month). The templates are very easy to use. __Strengths__ __Weaknesses__ __Audience__ The appropriate audience for this website is teachers looking for WebQuests or looking to create/modify a WebQuest.  __Access__ This website can be accessed by entering the web address http://www.zunal.com/index.php in your browser.

 * WebQuests can be created in several languages.
 * There is a small fee to have full access to all aspects of the website.
 * <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">Anyone can post so not all WebQuests are well done or error free.
 * <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">The great modules like adding rubrics, quizzes, and games cannot be used unless you have the pro membership.

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">**Reflection**: <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">WebQuests are another teaching tool that I find very exciting. As I was searching through many WebQuests, it became apparent that not all that claim to be a WebQuest are a genuine WebQuest. Additionally, some were easy to navigate while others were less accessible. I began to wondering how to make a WebQuest look professional and be sure to have all the components necessary to be considered a true WebQuest. Melissa’s review proved to be an answer to my question. Paying for this service is not something I am quite ready for; however, once I have a few more ideas and resources already collected then I will be ready to pay for this service.
