WebQuests, like Treasure Hunts, are learning activities that involve
students in searching the Internet for information on a specific
topic. However, Web
Quests require more planning to involve students in higher levels of
thinking. Web Quest
projects include an overview, guidelines, questions, links, and
opportunities to write, create a product, or answer questions.
For
an introduction to Web Quests, work with your group to complete a
Web Quest on
Web Quests created by Bernie Dodge, the guru of Web Quests.
Complete the Web Quest appropriate to the level which you
intend to teach. Be ready
to report your findings to the class.
