WebQuests

WebQuests are a fun online tool for teachers to use in the classroom. Before learning about them in class I had not heard about them. A WebQuest is an online project in which students research information on the web. WebQuests can help students learn a new concept with a short project that takes a couple days or they can explore a topic more intensively by creating something to aid in understanding. In some cases, WebQuests can take a week or up to a month. Many students now enjoy using the internet and WebQuest offers a way to integrate the use of the web in a classroom project or assignment. This could be very engaging for a student and also an exciting way to vary teaching methods. I will definately consider using WebQuest in my future classroom.
