A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented activity in which some or all of the information that learners interact with comes from resources on the internet.The goal of developing this model  is to bring the internet into classes by enforcing students to engage in colaborative work that creates a need for group's discussion and applying higher level of thinking.Also , it supports different types of student centered skills and they are social skills,thinking skills and meta-cognitive skills.All these skills achieved when the student go through the WebQuest phases , starting from introduction,  then tasks ,after that the process  then ending with evaluation and conclusion .But , the challenges that teacher should considered when she/he design a WebQuest is how to make it faster and easier for the learners and the teachers.
Before joining the BTC , I did not use a WebQuest  and even observed it during my teaching parctice week.It seems to me as a new technique that serve  my educational philosophy of preparing students for labor life with higher level of thinking that keeps pace with the technological development.

Here are some effective Web Quest sites that I really enjoid:
