WebQuests
WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented online tool for learning, says workshop expert Bernie Dodge. This means it is a classroom-based lesson in which most or all of the information that students explore and evaluate comes from the World Wide Web. Beyond that, WebQuests:

* can be as short as a single class period or as long as a month-long unit;

* usually (though not always) involve group work, with division of labor among students who take on specific roles or perspectives;

* are built around resources that are preselected by the teacher. Students spend their time USING information, not LOOKING for it.

This is the website where teachers can create their own WEbQuests and find the existing ones:
