Enhancing student learning through Webquests

Before starting this module, I was not even sure what a Webquest was. The reading for this module allowed me to see exactly what a Webquest is and how it can be used in the classroom to facilitate student thinking and learning. Personally, I believe that the best part of the Webquest is that it is inquiry based and requires students to use their higher level thinking skills. Through the use of Webquests, the Internet becomes a reliable resource that students can use to enhance their learning. For younger students such as Kindergartners, a Webquest can provide students with useful information on specific content areas or standards while also allowing them to work on improving their computer usage skills.
