WebQuests and Articles For Educators

What is a webquest? Well, one online dictionary defines it this way:

Quote:
An inquiry-oriented activity in which most or all of the information used by students is online. By providing links necessary to complete the quest, the student is able to focus on the material rather than spend time looking for it.



I've been thinking about adding a "Webquests" directory to Articles For Educators, but didn't have any webquests to put in it. But a couple days ago, Brian sent me one that he did in his Algebra class. And it's even a webquest using one of my sites.

So, here it is:

Webquest: Finding Information About Codes
This webquest worksheet asks questions about cryptography and secret messages. Webquest answers can be found at 'The Problem Site'.

On May 25, 2005 Beth wrote: One of my basketball captains made a Webquest about the Pythagorean Theorem. I didn't realize that this was a universal concept, I just thought it was a teaching method that her professor thought up.

Doug Replied: well then, ask her if she wants to have it published online, and then send her to Articles for Educators
