Creating PowerQuests

Webquests are inquiry based activities in which most of the information comes from the web. The focus is on using information, rather than just looking for it, to support higher level thinking skills. Webquests also take a lot of time to create and then require access to a web server. If you have ever wanted to create your own Webquest, but didn’t have the time or access, we have the answer! Webquests can be created using PowerPoint—PowerQuests! Using the provided templates you will have your PowerQuest underway in no time!
