WebQuest Resources

WebQuests are a great tool to add to your classroom! Here is a list of 5 to help get some more knowledge about them!

This is a video about WebQuest pitfalls. Bernie Dodge who created the WebQuest model talks about some different things to watch out for and not do on WebQuests and gives feedback on things you may want to focus on when creating them. Some topics don't work well with the WebQuest model. This is a great resource directly from the man himself.

In another video from Bernie Dodge he discusses what a WebQuest is. I feel like this is very helpful in reminding what the intent of the WebQuest should be. In the video it describes the steps that are involved in each WebQuest and even provides an example of one.

This website provides a PowerPoint of the step by step process to making a WebQuest. This is a very helpful PowerPoint for first time users and really gets into each part of the WebQuest and the details it should include.

4. http://webquest.sdsu.edu/about_WebQuests.html
This website provides information on short and long term WebQuests. It includes thinking skills that the WebQuest activities may include as well as even further in depth look at the whole designing a WebQuest and what it should entail.

5. http://www.themedifastplan.com/feature-articles/nutrition-for-kids-activities-webquests/
This last resource is a website that offers WebQuests about nutrition. While this is a topic that is usually pushed aside in schools to have WebQuests for it could make it more interesting and easier to incorporate in the schools. It is a great way to get the students learning about health.
