Guided Inquiry Made Semi-Easy
The WebQuest model has been around since 1995 when I developed it for use in a courseat San Diego State University. The goal then, and now, was to create lessons thatmake good use of the web, engage learners in applying higher level thinking toauthentic problems, and use everyone's time well. Since that beginning, one ofthe ongoing challenges has been to make it faster and easier for teachers to doall these things. QuestGarden is the end result of those 22 years of effort.
