Web-Quests

• Web-Quests are among the most fascinating
  applications on the Web for K-12 educators.
• Student-centered and inquiry-based, a Web-Quest
  challenges students to explore the web for
  information.
• Most Web-Quests include the links that are
  appropriate for students to research as well as
  suggestions for further research.
• Web-Quests are generally constructed around a
  scenario of interest to students.
• Traditionally Web-Quests have an introduction, a
  process, a task, a list of resources, a
  conclusion, and an evaluation.
