Webquests are among the most fascinating applications on the Internet for K-12 educators. Student centered and inquiry based, a Webquest challenges students to explore the web for information and it is an excellent way to integrate the Internet into the classroom. Traditionally Webquests have an introduction, a process, a task, a list of resources, a conclusion, and an evaluation.
