About WebQuests American Professor Bernie Dodge and Tom March have worked on the concept of WebQuests since 1995. Their aim has been to develop strategies for effectively using the Internet in the classroom. WebQuests are one of a range of web based activities that involve the development of student centred problem solving activities.
Students work collaboratively on a real life task taking on real life simulation roles.
They use the Internet as one of many resources, and then share what they have learned with others. Build on what you develop as you learn how to use the net. Start with a Hot Lists of links then build on your efforts with a Multimedia Scrapbooks activity. Next build a Treasure Hunt of facts and figures. These are powerful learning tools that use Internet based telecommunication tools.
