What is a WebQuest?
A stereotypical "WebQuest" sees a team of students accessing Web sites in order to produce a technology-enhanced group product. Example "WebQuests" are:
Janell did a good job on this WebQuest on creating a business plan. Would suggest that the rubric needs to be more detailed but, all in all, the model with a small team and each has a role should work well.
Exemplar of how to make the most of Glogster; Could be really interesting tool for students to use to create products from their learning -- perhaps products of a WebQuest. May even be a terrific visual format for creating a WebQuest. Lots of possibilities! Thanks to Angela and her global team for sharing.
Tom March and Bernie Dodge were originators of the WebQuest. This is Tom's site and the quality control is evident with ratings according to a strict rubric that requires an inquiry task that is transformative.
I like to add annotations for each site. And, depending on how the reading level of the sites, you may in some cases actually need to add a few questions similar to a reading guide to help kids find what they need. You may need to scaffold the during reading, that is ;-)
