WebQuest

Webquest

WebQuest is an extraordinary resource that is only possible because of the internet. Since there is so much space on the internet and endless amounts of information, you can create a WebQuest as an in depth lesson with various steps and a deeper understanding of a specific topic. You can have your students search the web on a planned path to get them to look at different information from different sources and websites. It enables you to give the students some freedom to learn, but also give them a path to travel so they get what they need.

In my classroom, I wouldn't personally use this resource because my goal is to be a kindergarten teacher. But I could possibly come up with a less complex WebQuest that more focused on how to get around on the internet and also showing some reliable websites on the web. But for older students, this is a great tool that can allow the teacher to give the students freedom with guidance. The best way to learn is by getting a general direction and the ideas that need to be learned, but being able to explore them on your own and during your own time. WebQuest can work with any topic and any subject that needs to be covered in school and is also a great way to cover fun topics to keep the students interested!
