Participant Review of this Module:
"Through the WebQuest Module, I gained a deeper understanding of how effective WebQuests can be in teaching high-level skills and meeting students' individual needs. The module met my needs by allowing me to explore topics of interest to me at my own pace, and the instructor was great about giving me quick and helpful feedback. I plan on sharing what I learned with my faculty and am looking forward to seeing WebQuests come alive in my school."
