1. One Period Webquests
Quick Easy

2. What is a Webquest?
• A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented activity in which
most or all of the information used by learners is
drawn from the Web. WebQuests are designed to
use learners' time well, to focus on using information
rather than looking for it, and to support learners'
thinking at the levels of analysis, synthesis and
evaluation. The model was developed in early 1995
at San Diego State University by Bernie Dodge and
Tom March.

• Webquests can be daunting
• Many preconfigured or
downloadable Webquests can take
as long as three to four weeks

perception of failure
