WebQuest Benefits
Easily Outlines the Project
There is a tab for every aspect of the project
Gives the students a rubric so they know what's expected
By the time they get to the last tab, they should have
everything completed with ease
Gives Step-By-Step Instruction
Everything is laid out completely and clearly for them
Easy to use tabs on the left side of the page to
help walk them through the project
Gives the teacher the opportunity to first outline the
project, and then in a different tab it lets you go in
depth about each step
Encourages Groupwork
If you make the project extensive, it's easy for each
student to open the Webquest on their own computer
and read through the project and then get into groups
and help each other explain what needs done
If one student is struggling with understanding what's expected, one of their peers can easily walk through it with them
The teacher doesn't need to be involved until the end.
Everything is laid out and organized and they have their
peers to help as well
You Can Use Other Teacher's WebQuests, or They Can Use Your WebQuest
When you make a WebQuest, you can make
it public, so other teacher's can use it as well
Other teachers can get ideas for their own
WebQuests using yours, or you can get ideas
from others
If you're struggling with getting your students
to understand a subject, you can try another
teachers approach through their WebQuest
