Web Quests

A WebQuest is defined, by Bernie Dodge at San Diego State University, as "an inquiry-oriented activity in which some or all of the information that learners interact with comes from resources on the Internet."

Kathy Schrock finds it the perfect model for teachers searching for ways to incorporate the Internet into the classroom on both a short-term and long-term basis and has created a 16-slide Powerpoint presentation based on the information found at Mr. Dodge's site at: http://school.discovery.com/schrockguide/webquest/wqsl1.html
Schrock’s introduction to Webquests is also available as a PDF file from: http://school.discovery.com/schrockguide/webquest/webquest.PDF

For clarification and further explanation, samples of short-term WebQuests, and a template (http://edweb.sdsu.edu/webquest/LessonTemplate.html) for teachers to use, please visit
