is a Web Quest?

activity in which some or all the information that learners interact with
comes from resources on the Internet. These resources are preselected
by the teacher. There are two kinds of web quests: 1.Short term projects
that take from 1 to 3 class periods and 2. Long term projects that can
take a week to a month to complete.Check out the complete Web Quest description
