Web Projects & Web Quests 

 

What is a Web Project?

A web project is a collaborative project done by  groups of students from many areas. Students use the resources of the web to complete the activity and share the results with others. There are many ongoing projects on the web.  Some are long term, lasting several months or a whole school year. Others are shorter, with more immediate responses and publications. Some involve American schools while many have a more global focus.

What is a Web Quest?

A Web Quest is an inquiry based activity that guides students through a group of assigned tasks leading them to a conclusion. The information the students need to complete the tasks comes from the resources of the Internet.  Good Web Quests encourage students to understand, problem-solve and draw conclusions from the information gathered. Web Quests can be short term, taking two or three class periods to complete. Longer ones can take up to a month to complete. Many include a method of presenting or posting to the web for evaluation and feed back form real people.
