Introduction

This WebQuest was developed in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a course on integrating technology across the curriculum at the University of Richmond.

This WebQuest is designed to encourage students to examine the journeys of influential explorers. Students will work both individually and collaboratively, using internet resources, graphic organizers, letter writing, and drawing to form their own opinions of the explorers’ adventures.

The purpose of this inquiry-based learning activity is to:

Present students with the opportunity to work in groups and build interpersonal skills
Actively involve students in the use and exploration of the Internet
Establish critical thinking skills in an original, challenging, and unique way
