Tips for Teaching with Webquests

1. Choose an interesting topic so that students will not get bored.
2. Pick websites that are appropriate for the age of the students.
3. Ask questions that have answers that can be found on the websites with which they correspond.
4. Avoid too many easy fill-in-the-blank questions, which can get monotonous and cause students to lose interest.
5. Make the complexity of the questions appropriate for the age of the students.
6. Include an answer key at the end.
7. Put the questions and websites in a logical order or flow.
8. Include transitions between sites so they seem connected.
9. Make sure everything is legible, including making font sizes larger if necessary.
10. Leave plenty of space for students to fully answer each question.
