Webquests
What are WebQuests? How to Use WebQuests: 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 levels of analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.” - Bernie Dodge Effective WebQuests incorporate the following instructional strategies: critical thinking, cooperative learning and authentic assessment.
