What is a Webquest?
A real WebQuest....is wrapped around a doable and interesting task that is
ideally a scaled down version of things that adults do as citizens or
workers.
....requires higher level thinking, not simply summarizing. This includes
synthesis, analysis, problem-solving, creativity and judgment.
....makes good use of the web. A WebQuest that isn't based on real resources
from the web is probably just a traditional lesson in disguise. (Of course,
books and other media can be used within a WebQuest, but if the web isn't at
the heart of the lesson, it's not a WebQuest.)
....isn't a research report or a step-by-step science or math procedure.
Having learners simply distilling web sites and making a presentation about
them isn't enough.
....isn't just a series of web-based experiences. Having learners go look at
this page, then go play this game, then go here and turn your name into
hieroglyphs doesn't require higher level thinking skills and so, by
definition, isn't a WebQuest.
