Webquests allow students to explore the internet to learn about new topics, resources, etc. There are a lot of websites out there that present school appropriate webquests. I think webquests (when used properly) could be a great way to get students to explore topics while safely surfing the web. By giving them specific sites and an agenda to follow it ensures students stay on task and visit appropriate sites. It's a fun way to get students to explore topics in a hands-on way while also incorporating the internet!
