Structured online research activities that direct students to curated resources to complete tasks reinforcing classroom learning.

About Webquests

A Webquest is a structured online learning activity where students use the internet to research specific topics and complete assignments. Mr. Austin's webquests guide you to specific, pre-approved websites so you focus on learning โ€” not searching.

All webquests include: an introduction, task description, resources (links), a process to follow, and an evaluation rubric. Read each section carefully before you begin.
