Abstract

Teachers are facing increasing pressure to integrate the use of computer technologies into their teaching of social studies. One approach to the use of the Internet that has a lot of potential for making social studies fun, interesting and highly motivating for students is the WebQuest. This article describes what a WebQuest is and why it is a good teaching and learning tool. A specific example of how to set up a WebQuest to be used for a Grade 6 unit on ancient Greece is also provided.
