Why WebQuests?
• “WebQuests are designed to use
learners’ time well.”
• “To focus on using information rather
than on looking for it.”
• “To support learners’ thinking at the
levels of analysis, synthesis, and
evaluation.”
- Bernie Dodge

• “I hear and I forget. I
see and I remember. I
do and I understand.”
- Confucius
