WebQuests

A WebQuest is an inquiry-based learning activity in which students interact with Internet sites and other resources carefully selected to expand their knowledge. We will use WebQuests to guide our learning to go beyond fact-finding. In our WebQuests, we will use information along with creativity and critical-thinking skills to solve problems, perform tasks, and present solutions. Part of the WebQuest process will be presenting information learned often using programs such as PowerPoint, Excel, Word or Dreamweaver.
