What is a WebQuest?
A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented lesson
format 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 February,
1995 with early input from SDSU/Pacific Bell
Fellow Tom March, the Educational
Technology staff at San Diego Unified School
District, and waves of participants each
summer at the Teach the Teachers
Consortium.

Collaboration:
 Form work teams within the class and countries.
 Provide some basic online resources and starting
suggestions along with the Webquest.
 Direct teams to brainstorm a starting point to
understanding the issue and then divide that list
among them to begin research.
 After the beginning research is completed, teams share
their information, discuss, and decide on the next step.
 Teams continue to work, share, collaborate, and plan
throughout the project.

7. Knowledge Construction
 Using the Webquest and general resources, direct
students to build a base of knowledge about the
subject through research, sharing and collaboration.
