Net Happenings - From Educational CyberPlayGround
**************************************************************

Dear Reader

Would you like to have a project where students have a reason to learn by
doing a project? Have you considered a webquest? It doesn't need to be
difficult. Students can be on there own, they don't need you.
What is the purpose of doing something like this? You can integrate
literacy, music, and technology into your classroom - exceeding your state 
standards.

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 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 Diego State University.

What is a Webquest - Background for teachers
The trick is in the task. Start with a good inquiry based task that has
open ended questions, using clear learning objectives. Learners produce
their own website or simple webpage that includes a quiz to encourage
collaboration among learners. Children make them for other children!!
