The British Museum WebQuests

The site Free Technology for Teachers recently posted about The British Museum and utilizing its terrific resources for completing WebQuests. For those unfamiliar, the site WebQuest.org defines a WebQuest as "an inquiry-oriented lesson format in which most or all the information that learners work with comes from the web. The model was developed by Bernie Dodge at San Diego State University in February, 1995 with early input from SDSU/Pacific Bell Fellow Tom March, the Educational Technology staff at San Diego Unified School District, and waves of participants each summer at the Teach the Teachers Consortium." Free Technology for Teachers author Richard Byrne provides several WebQuests he has written using The British Museum. Check them out and use them in your classroom or as a springboard for creating your own.
