One Period Webquests Quick Easy
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. http://www.hobart.k12.in.us/peggy/quests.html
Beware! • Webquests can be daunting • Many preconfigured or downloadable Webquests can take as long as three to four weeks • This can lead to teacher perception of failure
