What are Webquests?
iwebquest.com works with dedicated teachers to develop online lesson plans, units, and projects to promote higher-level thinking skills. We refer to these online lessons, units, and projects as webquests. Webquests break the larger units into smaller tasks to lead students through the difficult process of questioning, researching, and then applying their knowledge. First, webquests ask students an essential question to creates a clear purpose, inspires students to access prior knowledge, and create a level of excitement that motivates students to explore further. Second, webquests provide quality, teacher previewed resources. Students have easy access to quality resources and can now focus on analyzing and interpreting their resources. Third, webquests provide you with an on-line activity that gives kids an opportunity to apply (and solidify) their knowledge. iwebquest.com packs these activities full of teaching strategies that make it easier for you to engage your students in learning and then assess their work.
