Enter the
Web Quest
The
Nature of a Web Quest
One model approach for this dilemma is called a Web Quest developed in
1995 by Bernie Dodge of San Diego State University. Simply put, a Web
Quest is an inquiry-based activity where students are given a task and
provided with access to on-line resources to help them complete the task.
It is an ideal way to deliver a lesson over the web. Web Quests are discovery
learning tools; they are usually used to either begin or finish a unit
of study.
When creating a Web Quest, it is beneficial to be able to make your own
web pages. But, it is not necessary. Teachers have delivered fantastic
Web Quests in hard copy format.
Over the last five years, the TeAch-nology.com staff has seen a great
deal of Web Quests. Some are good, some are great, and some are not worth
the time it takes to download. In this tutorial, we will examine the use
of Web Quests and qualities of effective Web Quests.
