WEBQUESTS
What is a WebQuest?
      According to WebQuest.org:
   A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented
    lesson format in which most or all
    the information that learners work
    with comes from the web
            A real WebQuest....
   is wrapped around a doable and
    interesting task that is ideally a
    scaled down version of things that
    adults do as citizens or workers.
   requires higher level thinking, not
    simply summarizing.
   makes good use of the web
   isn't just a series of web-based
    experiences.
In a nutshell…

 A webquest is basically
  a lesson or unit where
  students use Internet
  resources provided by
  the teacher to gain and
  then apply
  information.
What a webquest is not...

 Having learners go look       WebQuest ≠ just fact
  at this page, then go          finding
  play this game, then go
  here and turn your
  name into hieroglyphs
  doesn't require higher
  level thinking skills and
  so, by definition, isn't a
  WebQuest.
