WebQuests are the brainchild of Bernie Dodge, a professor at San Diego State University, who developed it in early 1995 with the help of Tom March. He defined a WebQuest as:

...an inquiry-oriented activity in which some or all of the information that learners interact with comes from resources on the internet...

In plain talk this means that students complete an activity on the Internet, using some Internet resources, and presenting their answers using some form of technology. WebQuests are an excellent way of integrating the Internet with the classroom curriculum. Many teachers have created their own WebQuests to fit their individual class needs and posted them on the Internet for other educators to use.

The following are links to WebQuests created by our staff. Students at Frank Kim Elementary may be involved in using the WebQuests as well as any teacher with Internet access.
