WebQuests are designed to use learners' time well, to focus on using information rather than on looking for it, and to support learners' thinking at the levels of analysis, synthesis, and evaluation."

"Do not go where the path leads; Rather, go where there is no path and leave a trail." -Emerson WebQuests Volume 5, Issue 5- September 29, 2002 presented by Walter McKenzie - Surfaquarium Consulting Innovative staff development: Technology Applications, Multiple Intelligences, Curriculum Integration and Creative Education. Let's see what we can do for your staff! Can it actually be seven years since Bernie Dodge first presented his idea for a Web-based problem solving model that promoted collaboration and higher-level thinking? Amazingly it has. Along the way many practitioners have dabbled in WebQuests, some more successfully than others. The best Quests have always stuck closely to Dodge's original formula for WebQuest design, and these are the kinds of Quests I sought to identify for you here. Quests are not scavenger hunts or scrap books or virtual versions of worksheets. They are so much more than these. The collections I offer you today will add to your cache of teaching resources by volumes. I opted not to include the old faithful "how to" sites and definitive collections of the past in the hopes of offering you some new resources you may not have been aware of. As teachers you are busy enough and these sites don't ask you to reinvent the wheel. Just find what approximates your needs and adapt it to your classroom.

How each of person determines "good" or "quality" instruction is to a large degree founded on what educational values that person holds. These values are primarily shaped by (1) cultural norms, (2) the philosophy(s) of learning to which people adhere, and (3) a person's personal preferences for learning. When people's educational values match those embedded in the course, the match-up contributes to their perception of it being a quality educational experience; conversely, when people's educational values do not match those of a course, then dissatisfaction is likely to occur.Read the Full Story

WebQuests What is a WebQuest? A WebQuest according to Bernie Dodge at San Diego State University is "an inquiry-oriented activity in which some or all of the information that learners interact with comes from resources on the internet." Make sure you check out an Interview with Bernie Dodge Why should I use a WebQuests with my students? I have found them to be one of the best tools in teaching! First, my students were just thrilled to even get near the computer so this already had their attention in utilizing a WebQuest. Next, I have been amazed at the learning that goes on! The students are not only learning how to research on the internet (which is in itself quite important in this day) but they working together, problem solving, and most WebQuests are interdisciplinary. There is usually a finished product at the end that they are quite proud of and have worked hard over several hours, days or maybe even weeks depending on the WebQuest and your lab availability. Lastly, the teacher becomes the facilitator and the students take the lead in learning and teaching which is what we desire in Constructivist learning What is Constructivism?

Webquests are just one way in which teachers can help. Defining a webquest Reasons for using webquests Structure of a webquest Producing a webquest ... Conclusion Defining a webquest Bernie Dodge of San Diego State University was one of the first people to attempt to define and structure this kind of learning activity. According to him, a webquest is "an inquiry-oriented activity in which some or all of the information that learners interact with comes from resources on the Internet..." This definition has been refined over the years, and adapted for various different disciplines. Philip Benz (See further reading) describes a webquest as follows: " A "WebQuest" is a Constructivist approach to learning (...). Students not only collate and organize information they've found on the web, they orient their activities towards a specific goal they've been given, often associated with one or more roles modeled on adult professions."
