WebQuests

WebQuests are structured, inquiry-oriented activities for students utilizing resources found on the Internet. These activities are literally "quests" in which students are given a task to complete, all while using high-quality Internet resources pre-screened by their teacher. WebQuests exercise higher-order skills, making them one of the ultimate Internet-based projects for the classroom.

For help and ideas on how to use and create WebQuests for your classroom, see the resources listed below.
