DESIGNING AND CREATING A SOCIAL STUDIES WEBQUEST

This course will focus on teaching participants how to use the Internet to find resources to enhance and support the teaching of the social studies curriculum through a WebQuest. A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented activity in which most of the information students interact with comes from resources on the Internet. Participants will learn how to set goals, gather resources, and plan the social studies WebQuest. A template is provided for creating the online social studies WebQuest. Additionally, rubrics for assessing what students learned from the WebQuest are also introduced.
