Webquest Information
 
A WebQuest is defined, by Bernie Dodge at San Diego State University, as "an inquiry-oriented activity in which some or all of the information that learners interact with comes from resources on the Internet."

I find it the perfect model for teachers searching for ways to incorporate the Internet into the classroom on both a short-term and long-term basis. Following is a 16-slide Powerpoint presentation based on the information found at Mr. Dodge's site. (Also available as a PDF file.) For clarification and further explanation, samples of short-term WebQuests, and a template for teachers to use, go visit "The Web Quest Page".

  • Tom March has put together some great WebQuests and a informative site dealing with the use of them to support the instructional process. He calls the site WebQuests and More. Tom also has a new introductory essay entitled "Why WebQuests?"

  • I have designed a sample WebQuest entitled "The 1960's Museum".
    Take a look at it and let me know what you think!

  • Link to a collection of exemplary WebQuests created by students in my graduate courses from September 1996-May 1998. Many of the links are old, but the ideas are a great starting point for your planning!

  • Links to Bernie's matrix of top picks and other good Webquests put together by teachers, university students, and workshop attendees.

  • An article entitle "The Student WebQuest" by Maureen Brown Yoder, April 1999.

  • A Trackstar Track dealing with the topic of WebQuests with some good links.

  • A great list of WebQuest resources put together by Midge Frazel in support of a workshop.

  • A tutorial for learning how to write and utilize WebQuests in your classroom.

  • A WebQuest assessment rubric put created by Tom March, another WebQuest guru!
  • Once you design your own WebQuest, submit it here to share it with others.

  • My slide show dealing with the WebQuest. (PDF version)
