A
WebQuest is an Internet based activity that usually covers several
curriculum areas. WebQuests focus on using information rather than looking
for it, students are prompted to go beyond just learning facts. Students
usually compose creative work to support thinking at the levels of
analysis, synthesis and evaluation.
For
example, students may be asked to create a multimedia slide show that
develops and supports a point of view. Another example could be students
creating a newsletter to summarize their knowledge gathered on a topic.
