Webquests can be valuable learning tools in your classroom to give students an opportunity to explore a subject on their own or with peers. Most of the research is done online, and the activities can be tailored to meet students' needs and learning styles.

Students work through the tasks and synthesize the material across different metacognitive tasks.
