Tom March and Bernie Dodge developed the concept of a WebQuest in 1995 as a way to effectively integrate the internet into classroom instruction. A WebQuest guides students to a cluster of websites related to a major concept and has them gather information, summarize, synthesize and present what they learned. Key components of an effective WebQuest include an introduction, task, process, resources, evaluation and conclusion. WebQuests scaffold online inquiry, take advantage of online information, and practice important research skills.
