WebQuests

WebQuests are great ways to teach background information and to give your students opportunities to deep deeper into the content you are teaching in your class. They are primarily based on the web, but you select and organize the websites you want your students to read through before they begin their work. This is helpful for several reasons- it can avoid the "information overload" that exists on the web, keep students on track, and ensure that they are not getting distracted with other sites that are irrelevant. They also are great ways to have your students collaborate with one another and construct their own learning and meaning!

Now, to begin looking into information about WebQuests, here's the place to start. The website has tips and for creating a WebQuest and links to sites that can assist you in your efforts. Even better, you can search on the website for pre-made WebQuests about various topics!

They do take a while to create, but they are incredible resources that you can use and adapt for each class. Enjoy and good luck!
