Things to remember about WebQuests

As per our discussion about WebQuests and what they should contain, here are some things to consider:

The Format
WebQuests must include an Introduction, Task, Process, Conclusion, and Evaluation. You may also consider including pages on Resources, References, and a teacher page.

Stuff We Need
Keep in mind that WebQuests generally require a lot of time - usually spanning several weeks of instruction. They also often utilize group work/ cooperative learning methods. They are always built around some kind of authentic problem and result in a project or product.

Stuff We Like
As we discussed webquests, you mentioned that they should have good visual design without too much to read. The information should be interesting and you should make an effort to get and keep the students' attention. Keep in mind that your students should be able to easily navigate the page - using links or buttons to get around. Also, keep your resource list down (the ol' 7+/- 2 rule).
