Take your favorite project or unit of study,
locate educational web sites connected to your curriculum,
and invite students into the penthouse of Bloom's taxonomy!
A WebQuest is an inquiry-based activity in which most or all of the information used by learners is drawn from the Internet. WebQuests are designed to use students' time productively, to focus on information rather than looking for it, and to challenge students' thinking at the levels of analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. The WEBQUEST MODEL was developed at San Diego State University by Bernie Dodge and Tom March.

GATHER resource links on the Internet so students can use multiple sources of data to discover something new,
