Locating quality information on the Internet
presents a variety of challenges. Users need to be able to sort through
the multitude of information to locate the most relevant pieces. Many teachers
avoid using the Web as a resource in their classrooms because students have
not acquired the skills needed to use the Internet effectively. WebQuests
are one way that the Internet can be meaningfully incorporated into the
curriculum. In this module, you will design a WebQuest to enhance a classroom
unit or a particular curriculum area and engage your students in meaningful
research.

- Explain the characteristics of an effective WebQuest;
