Creating a WebQuest
Real WebQuest....
 * is wrapped around a doable and interesting task that is ideally a scaled down version of things that adults do as citizens or workers.
 * requires higher level thinking, not simply summarizing. This includes synthesis, analysis, problem-solving, creativity and judgment.
 * makes good use of the web. A WebQuest that isn't based on real resources from the web is probably just a traditional lesson in disguise. (Of course, books and other media can be used within a WebQuest, but if the web isn't at the heart of the lesson, it's not a WebQuest.)

An Internet scavenger hunt is an interesting and challenging way of testing and building online searching skills for students. They are pretty easy to create, and a good way for students to practice doing online searches. Students would need access to computers with internet. I would take this one step further from a print-out scavenger hunt, and create the scavenger hunt in a powerpoint presentation with interesting videos for students to watch, and possibly have draft an answer to one of the questions on a classroom blog.
