What is
this?
Webquest is a fantastic website introduced by Tilly. With thousands of readily available webquests on this site, it is both time-saving and user-friendly for teachers and students. A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented lesson format in which most or all the information that learners work with comes from the web. The model was developed by Bernie Dodge at San Diego State University in February, 1995 with early input from SDSU/Pacific Bell Fellow Tom March, the Educational Technology staff at San Diego Unified School District, and waves of participants each summer at the Teach the Teachers Consortium.
