| Introduction |
WebQuests
are a model of
using technology with kids pioneered int he early days of the Internet
by Bernie Dodge from San Diego State University. There is no
"real" WebQuests (there are no rules or standards to follow, and you
need not register your activities),
so individuals use the term to describe a wide range of Internet-based
activities. A WebQuest has certain components: |
| The
Task |
|
| The
Resources |
|
| The
Product |
|
| Resource List | |
| Examples | |
| Rubric | The Task: The focus
of a WebQuest is the task, it gives direction and sets students in
motion. The ideal WebQuest tasks are those that give the learner
some choice and those that can be accomplished in a variety of ways. The Resources: Perhaps the most time-consuming part of writing a WebQuest is finding and reviewing web resources learners use to complete the task. The Product: The task usually require learners to create some sort of product. |
