Day 10


Today's topic- WEBQUESTS


A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented lesson in which most or all the information that learners work with comes from the web. The model was developed by Bernie Dodge at San Diego State University in 1995. They provide teachers with controlled researching/inquiry, and learners with specific guidelines and outcomes.
Here is a webquest about webquests: http://webquest.sdsu.edu/webquestwebquest-hs.html
San Diego State University is the ultimate resource for webquest and has a terrific search site available athttp://webquest.org/search/index.php
There are certainly other resources out there--here is another of the "good ones" :

Here's today's quest--Take a look at the SDSU site-do the webquest on webquests if you are unfamiliar with them.
Then--look around and see if you can find a webquest that you would use--or like to use--Forward the URL to me and I will share it
Have fun!
