Inquiry Learning & Webquests


Ever tried a webquest? If you have, you know that an authentic one requires an essential question and the following:

Introduction
Task
Process
Evaluation
Conclusion

"A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented activity in which most or all of the information used by learners is drawn from the Web. WebQuests are designed to use learners' time well, to focus on using information rather than on looking for it, and to support learners' thinking at the levels of analysis, synthesis, and evaluation." ~ Bernie Dodge, the originator of the WebQuest
