Teacher Projects/WebQuests

A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented lesson format in which most or all the information that learners work with comes from the web. The model was developed by Bernie Dodge at San Diego State University in February 1995. Since those beginning days, tens of thousands of teachers have embraced WebQuests as a way to make good use of the internet while engaging their students in the kinds of thinking that the 21st century requires.

WebQuests are among the most fascinating applications on the Internet for K-12 educators. WebQuests provide an authentic, technology-rich environment for problem-solving, information processing, and collaboration. This inquiry-based approach to learning involves students in a wide range of activities that make good use of Internet-based resources.  A WebQuest challenges students to explore the web for information and it is an excellent way to integrate the Internet into the classroom.
