Learning Advice

Learning Advice: Some WebQuest writers may wish to start out with pencil and paper, others may wish to go to WebQuest Template and do WebQuest without consulting or following most of the steps or consulting any of the materials. Other WebQuest writers may want to follow all the steps and consult all the materials.

It is anticipated you will find an approach to writing WebQuests that will use your own strenghts and probably change over time. Good learning advice is probably JUST DO WEBQUESTS. Probably the best learning advice is teach your students to do WebQuests.
