Enter the Web Quest

Six Reasons Teachers To Use Web Quests

1. To begin a unit as an anticipatory set (as per Madeline Hunter);

2. To conclude a unit as a summation;

3. As a collaborative activity in which students create a product (fostering cooperative learning);

4. To teach students how to be independent thinkers since most of the problems encountered in a Web Quest are real-world problems;

5. To increase competency in the use of technology; and

6. As a motivational techniques to keep students on task. However, if it proves to be an inefficient method of learning for your particular students (for whatever reasons), don't use it!
