Sites About Webquests

WebQuests are among the most fascinating (and educational) tasks you can set on the internet for K-12 students. Student centered and enquiry based, a Webquest challenges students to explore the web in the search for information on a particular topic. Webquests are an excellent way to integrate the internet into the classroom. A webquest typically has an introduction, a process, a task, a list of resources, a conclusion, and an evaluation. Some webquest pioneers, Bernie Dodge and Tom, developed the webquest model in early 1995 at San Diego State University March.
