Designing and Creating a WebQuest (Grades 3-12)/Flex Course

A WebQuest is an excellent way to integrate content curriculum with technology and the Internet. This course focuses on how to develop a WebQuest based on any content area. You will begin with content standards and then develop the WebQuest based on a theme or topic that addresses the standards. Effective Internet search strategies will be emphasized in order to find WebQuest resources efficiently.

"Absolutely awesome! This is definitely something I plan to use immediately in my classroom. I had a fun time planning my WebQuest and I am sure my students will find it quite interesting." - Annie Faris
