Web quests allow the students to research topics using all of the different internet sources which I like. The task was a bit daunting at first. I found it helpful to have a question in mind for the students to search to answer. Then I used that premise to introduce the SOL standards I want to teach. I noticed that there are some software packages that will put the quest together for the teachers. I may try the product, Questgarden, since it has a free one month trial period. It had some interesting samples to show.
