53. USING TECH: WEB QUESTS (Writing)
 
Description: A web quest is an Internet-based learning activity.
 
Application: This allows students to integrate prior knowledge and to discern new information in order to create a product of learning.
 
Process:  Have an overall instructional objective in mind when designing the webquest. Consider all the practical needs of using web-based instruction with students such as Internet block points and number of computers available. Create a list of elements for the quest, for example:
  • A User’s Guide that must contain an introduction that explains the overall goal of the quest and a list of the websites to be visited.
  • An Activity Sheet that shows work by the student, but it can also contain a rubric and/or a list of clues.
  • A Summary Presentation that proves students made connections amongst the websites visited.
