WebQuests are great interactive tools that motivate students to learn!  WebQuests are so powerful because they are student-centered in nature. Students enjoy delving deeper into a topic through WebQuests because they are not teacher-directed. Rather, students are given a purpose and task to encourage them on their WebQuest journey.  During WebQuests teachers facilitate the learning process, but they are not the main dispensers of knowledge.  Students typically enjoy the sense of independence that they possess as they navigate through various websites in order to solve their specific mission.  Students love using computer technology, so this is just one more way to get students excited about learning in the classroom.

I will try to incorporate WebQuests into my lessons as much as I can due to the numerous benefits that my students will reap from participating in these lessons.  I will use WebQuests not only because they are engaging but because they are great at developing and building critical thinking and problem solving skills.
