Why Webquest?

According to Tom March, "A WebQuest is a scaffolded learning structure that uses links to essential resources on the World Wide Web and an authentic task to motivate students' investigation of a central, open-ended question, development of individual expertise and participation in a final group process that attempts to transform newly acquired information into a more sophisticated understanding."

Reasons for WebQuest:
1. Increase motivation
2. Designed to address problems or issues that exist in the real world.
3. They have students use links that are pre-selected by the WebQuest writer.
4. Helps you expand your curriculum beyond your classroom walls.
