Go to http://www.webquest.org/ and make an argument for whether a webquest is a Web 1.0 or Web 2.0 technology?
Webquest is a Web 1.0 technology that has "grown" into a Web. 2.0 technology. The description of a Webquest taken off of it's website is as follows: The WebQuest model has been around since ancient times: 1995. The web has fundamentally changed since then with the invention of blogs, wikis, podcasts and social tools of every stripe. Has the model kept up, or are WebQuests a relic of the 20th century? In this webinar Bernie Dodge will describe how WebQuests and Web 2.0 go together like chocolate and peanut butter. He’ll show examples of how the latest web-based tools can be embedded in a solid pedagogical structure to make a good lesson great."
Webquest is the perfect example of how a "community" changed itself to keep up with the needs of its members.

Your description of how it's changed into a Web 2.0 resource is right on. I think webquests are a great resource for classrooms especially now that we have the ability to modify them to fit our needs. I just need to get brave enough to try it.;-)
