WebQuests

You will be doing a structured search of the web in order to find information about special education and learning disabilities.A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented activity in which most or all of the information used by learners is drawn from the Web. WebQuests are designed to use learners' time well, to focus on using information rather than looking for it, and to support learners' thinking at the levels of analysis, synthesis and evaluation. The model was developed in early 1995 at San DiegoStateUniversity by Bernie Dodge with Tom March, and was outlined then in Some Thoughts About WebQuests.

After completing the assignment, you may want to visit http://edweb.sdsu.edu/webquest/webquest.html to learn more about how to create a WebQuest for your students.Several good resources are available including training materials and templates that allow you to develop a simple WebQuest efficiently.
