The article “The Student Web Quest” informs teachers about what a web quest is and how it can be useful within the classroom. The author claims that web quests promote problem-solving and decision-making skills. She goes on to give tips and advise on how to set up a web quest. Maureen gives many examples of how teachers have used web quests to further their curriculum and to promote student interest and critical thinking skills for their students in their lessons.
As a future teacher, I can see where web quests could be a valuable tool for student learning. I can see myself using web quests for topics like math and science. For example, in a calculus class, the students could do a web quest on the design and engineering of a bridge. This would give them a better idea of how math can be used within the real world.
