A webquest is an assignment which asks students to use the World Wide Web to learn about a specific topic. The assignment can be given on paper, on the web itself by sending students to a web page which serves as the "home base" for the studentˇ¦s information search.
A good webquest makes learning interesting for our students. It puts the power of the web behind your topic. You let them discover for themselves, not just tell them. Web sites can take our students anywhere in the world. Webquests are a way to let students work at their own pace, either individually or in teams.
