Why WebQuests?

WebQuests are an essential part of any class.  WebQuests can be used at any grade level. WebQuests can be used in any academic discipline. WebQuests can be incorporated to help with differentiated instruction.  

Gifted and Talented Enrichment - Enhance higher order thinking and take students through more complex ways of thinking that provide real life experiences. 

  

Special Needs - Some may assume because WebQuests engage in higher order thinking, then students requiring additional intellectual support can not participate. Teachers can engage these studnets in webquests appropriate to their needs. More able students and parents can assist with more challenging components, once again improving relationships between students.

   

English as a Second Language (ESL) Students - There are wonderful WebQuests for motivating students with language needs. ESL students can use WebQuests to improve their literacy skills while keeping up with mainstream class expectations, at their year level.
