Educators:
How can a Web Quest help me with my class and curriculum?... 

Web Quests are tools for you to use to help integrate the World Wide Web of Information into your classroom.
Web Quests help you to expand your curriculum beyond your classroom walls.
Web Quests can be about one subject or several.
Web Quests can be 100 per cent on the Internet or multimedia experience!
Web Quests can be set up as a short term  or long term project.  The Web Quest could be completed in one or two class periods or last for weeks and weeks ending with an elaborate project.
Web Quests can be done in classrooms with one computer or in library media and computer centers with multiple computers.
Web Quests give both, the teacher and learner, independence to gather information
from a digital resource.
Web Quests are a new teaching paradigm!
