WEBQUEST: Search for the perfect website

As the title may suggest, I assumed webquesting was some form of cheesy, interactive ride at an amusement park. However, I soon learned of the amazing virtual world of webquest where teachers compose websites to take students through an assignment. Typically the assigenment is a detailed project related to some unit of study for the grade level. The webquest includes both a student and teacher page. The student page includes background info. sometimes with links, instructions, conclusion, etc. The teacher page includes instructions, standards, uses, etc. I will definitely use a webquest with my students at least once a year to promote collaboration, communication, and project-based learning.
