Webquests:
Bernie Dodge and Tom March have
developed a web-based learning model called
WebQuests. A WebQuest is an
inquiry-oriented activity in which some or all of
the information that learners interact with comes
from resources on the Internet. WebQuests are
perfect for the teacher that doesn't have time to
"mess around."
