Topic 8

In class we discussed WebQuests. I had never heard of a WebQuest until this point. So what is a WebQuest? A WebQuest is an "inquiry-oriented online tool for learning". It is a lesson that allows students to gather much or all of the information needed for the lesson on the World Wide Web. WebQuests usually allow students to work in groups. Students use the information that they find on the web, they don't spend their time looking for information. I am sure that once I have seen these used in a classroom and I spend more time learning about them, I will implement them in my own classroom.
