This wiki was designed to assist Mobile County Public School teachers with their summer inservice classes on WebQuest. Introduction A WebQuest as an inquiry-oriented activity in which most or all of the information used by learners is drawn from the Web. WebQuest are classroom-based lessons in which most or all of the information that students explore and evaluate comes from internet resources that are preselected by the teacher. These lessons can be as short as a single class period or as long as a month. They usually have students working in collaborative groups and can involve specific roles or perspectives. WebQuest are designed to use learners’ time well, to focus on using information rather than looking for it, and to support learners’ thinking at the levels of analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.
