The Learning Power of WebQuests
This useful article expands on the potential learning power of the WebQuest.
My minimal previous experiences with WebQuest might not actually have been a true indication of the potential of the WebQuest. Previously i had been given a so called WebQuest which fundamentally failed to implement the concepts put forward by this article.
Previously, i had been simply given a number of question and directions to certain sites to find the answers this was my understanding of the WebQuest prior to reading about it.
The article suggests that a true WebQuest should provide students with opportunities to engage in higher order learning and not just retrieving information but using the information they retrieve for a purpose.
