Using Microsoft Sway to create a WebQuest

For my social studies methods class, I had to create a WebQuest using a format other than the one provided on the QuestGarden website. I decided to try using Microsoft Sway, which is an alternative presentation format to PowerPoint. It is much more dynamic to look at which I think will be appealing to students. I watched a YouTube video tutorial before getting started (I'm a visual learner!)

It was fairly easy to use, although the disconcerting thing is that there is no "save" button as it saves automatically to the cloud.

You can see my WebQuest developed for a fifth-grade study of westward expansion here:

 Wagons Ho!
