WebQuests concentrate on a specific concept. Tasks are given and Web sites are provided as links to fulfill the lesson's objective. There are more and more WebQuests available over the Internet, or you can create your own. I have also found that projects, especially combined with graphic aids, are a wonderful way to keep students focused. Projects can be simple, like a treasure hunt comprised of questions whose answers come from various sites, or more complex, like national and international projects set up over the Web.
Research projects are also a common way to introduce technology's uses to students.
When integrated into the classroom curriculum, the Internet provides students with ready access to information as they become actively involved in their learning process. Students develop research skills as they navigate through links to gather, organize, and present information. To students with difficulty organizing information, this is an important question. Since there are a number of avenues to reach the same information using Internet searching, some of the frustration of finding the right source is eliminated. If the assignment is to write about events of the Revolutionary War that took place in New Jersey, the student has many options.
