Webquests

What are webquests?

Well, they are enquiry based lessons where all of the material comes from the internet. The students are given a project (hopefully one they are passionate about!) They then are allocated different tasks to investigate in groups. Each group has a different perspective. After a set time of looking at different links and processing the information the groups all come back together and report their findings.

I have found one example of a webquest based around Britain's multicultural society and click here to see it! Webquests are more common in the American educational system.

Webquests were created by Bernie Dodge in San Diego in 1995. Click here to go directly to his home page where you can find out all you need to know about webquests.
