Classroom Considerations

• Schedule time in the computer lab or library for pupils to complete the individual WebQuest assignment

 

Pros

• Content taps into individuals' curiosity and shows that exploration doesn't have to be a long-distance affair using the example of geocaching
• Resource contains worksheets and answer keys for WebQuest assignment
