Your students will learn and feel the excitement of traveling to far off places. Travel to famous museums, zoos, famous landmarks, and much more. While you're at your destination take guided tours complete with background information and graphics. It is important that educators preview each virtual tour before allowing students to enter and as always provide guidance and supervision. Many webquests offer links for students or teachers to contact an expert to ask questions, run ideas by, and share information.
Some experts offer to be contacted by e-mail.
This makes it possible for brainstorming and discussion to precede contact with the expert. First, it is important to carefully plan your questions. Compile them onto a one page letter to give to your expert. Remember, many web developers are very passionate about the topic of their webquest could provide an excellent expert. Recently, because of advances in technology it has been possible to video-conference with experts.
