WebQuest:
WEbquest
 is an inquiry-oriented lesson format in which most or all the information that learners work with
comes from the web.
 can be created using various programs, including a simple word processing document that includes
links to websites
 can be a versatile tool for teaching students.
 can be used to introduce new knowledge, to deepen knowledge, or to allow students to test
hypotheses as part of a final interaction with knowledge. The integration of computers and the
Internet also increase students’ competency with technology. By having specific task lists, students
can stay on task. By having specific sources of information, students can focus on using resources
to answer questions rather than vetting resources to use which is a different skill altogether.
In inclusive classrooms (classrooms that have students of varying exceptionalities interacting such as
learning disabled, language impaired, or giftedness) tasks can be
differentiated to a skill level or
collaborative groups for the same level of task.
