A WebQuest About WebQuests
 
Bernie Dodge has created several webquests to provide educators with an opportunity to learn about webquests.  As a group, you may decide a level from the selection below:

In "The Process" segment of the webquest, download a copy of the worksheet to record your groups'' impressions and evaluations.

These webquests will give you an opportunity to evaluate several webquests.
 
If you discover links that are no longer linked, please let me know.  The web is continually adding new sites....and losing others.
 
One of the links to the kosherquest suffers from "linkrot" so I have found a couple of substitutes*.  You may elect to preview either or both as part of your evaluation.
