What
the heck is a WebQuest and
what is all the fuss about?
|
| A
WebQuest is an inquiry-based, often interdisciplinary, unit of
study in which students get all or most of their information
from the Web. Students use the WebQuest to turn information into
knowledge and demonstrate their knowledge with a product. Teachers
design WebQuests to address standards, differentiate instruction,
pre-select resources, and scaffold learning. Resources may include
print and other classroom and library materials; however, a true
WebQuest must include information that is only available on the
Web. |

Overview
- Parts
of a WebQuest
- Understanding:
Every lesson on the Web seems to be called a WebQuest. Can
75 gazillion teachers be wrong?
- Examining:
Look carefully at one example to learn about features, design,
and functions. Can
you do it better?
