WebQuests Lamb, Annette Media Specialists School Libraries Internet Web Sites Thinking Skills Inquiry Teaching Methods Web Based Instruction In the mid-1990s, educators began exploring ways to make effective use of the vast information resources that were rapidly emerging on the Internet. Rather than using these new Web-based materials for low-level scavenger-hunt types of activities, school library media specialists sought ways to promote higher-order thinking through authentic assignments that emphasized information inquiry. In 1995, Bernie Dodge, Professor of Education from San Diego State University, coined the term "WebQuest" to describe a particular type of inquiry-based activity that asks students to use Web-based resources and tools to transform what they are learning into meaningful understandings and real-world projects. Most or all of the information used by learners is found on pre-selected websites. Rather than spending substantial time using search tools, WebQuests focus on using Web-based information to analyze, synthesize, and evaluate information to address high-level questions. This article describes Dodge's model of a WebQuest, distinguishes between short-term and long-term WebQuests, gives the characteristics of a well-designed WebQuest, and tells how library media specialists can put them to good use. A list of further reading is also included. |
