A webquest is an assignment which asks students to use the World Wide Web to learn about and/or synthesize their knowledge a specific topic. A “true” webquest, as originally designed by Bernie Dodge and Tom March, requires synthesis of the new knowledge by accomplishing a “task,” often to solve a hypothetical problem or address a real-world issue. Simpler web activities designed for students to investigate and collect new knowledge from web-based sources can also be a more engaging and effective replacement for "read the chapter and complete the review questions" activities.

A variety of different webquests have already been created which focus on World War II history. Oklahoma educators are working on creating webquests which connect more specifically to the USS Oklahoma and the memorial dedication. Please use the WebQuest activities which have been created already, and feel free to modify these to create your own! If you create you own WebQuest, please add it to our links here.
