WebQuest Definition

I believe that a WebQuest is an online source of information regarding a unit for students.  All of the information related to the unit is available to them through this website.  This allows the students the opportunity to explore and discover the topic for themselves.  I find it to be a more hands-on-learning experience for the students.  They can view the tasks and goals for on their own.  They will always have access to what is expected of them.
