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.
1) http://eduscapes.com/tap/topic4.htm#2: I like this site because they have pre-made collections for all grades or even has the option to break down webquests by grade level. You can then see webquests broken down by subject! These are great as they are, or you can explore them and create your own based off of ideas that you see!
2) http://bestwebquests.com/: This site is broken down by subject and age in a table format which is really easy to maneuver. Gives directions for what students should be exploring in regards to each topic!
3) http://questgarden.com/author/overview.php: This one is community based and allows people to share their webquests and constantly build webquests they already have! The only downfall is you have to subscribe. Has a great way to search for web based curriculum.
I think webquests 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!
