We learned about the uses and different aspects of WebQuesting. We evaluated several science and math related WebQuests. The science group and the math group chose the exact opposite best and worst WebQuests! It was an informative activity in which we learned to recognize and design strong WebQuests for our classrooms.
Today in class we also created a list of useful science related WebQuests. Visit these webQuests to get a guided tour through several websites and receive explicit directions for higher order thinking activities. The WebQuest can be a powerful tool to get students looking at a large body of knowledge and bring them back into a group setting in which they can synthesize all the information that they sorted through. WebQuests can be created on a regular webpage creator or in a Wiki.
