WebQuests

What is a WebQuest?

"A WebQuest is an inquery-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."

  • Process - Outlines how students will complete the task
