A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented online tool for learning, says workshop expert Bernie Dodge 1. This means it is a classroom-based lesson in which most or all of the information that students explore and evaluate comes from the World Wide Web. Beyond that, WebQuests: can be as short as a single class period or as long as a month-long unit; usually (though not always) involve group work, with division of labor among students who take on specific roles or perspectives; are built around resources that are preselected by the teacher. Students spend their time USING information, not LOOKING for it. 1.  Workshop: WebQuests Explanation | Demonstration | Exploration | Implementation | Get Credit Concept to Classroom | About the Series | Resources | Sitemap | Credits Thirteen | Thirteen Ed Online | thirteencelebration.org © 2004 Educational Broadcasting Corporation.
