WebQuests created by eMINTS teachers

Many eMINTS teachers have adopted the instructional planning model called WebQuests. WebQuests use World Wide Web resources for inquiry-based instructional activities. eMINTS teachers have created the high-quality WebQuests offered here. All have been evaluated by eMINTS staff using a scoring guide.

Currently, WebQuests created by eMINTS teachers are available for primary and middle school students in the following subject areas: Communication Arts, Fine Arts, Health/Physical Education, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies. WebQuests for high school students are available for Communication Arts and Social Studies. More WebQuests are added as they are evaluated by eMINTS staff.

If you move your WebQuest or know that other WebQuests listed here have been moved to a new server, please send the name of the WQ and its new URL to support@emints.org so we can repair broken links and maintain access to these resources.

Criteria for submission

The following process has been set up to ensure that each WebQuest linked from the eMINTS website is of the highest quality. Approved WebQuests join the permanent collection of resources for educators.

At this time, only official eMINTS teachers — those trained by eMINTS staff and those trained by certified instructional specialists who are enrolled or have completed the eMINTS PD4ETS program — are eligible to submit WebQuests for the eMINTS National Center database.

All WebQuests accepted under the new criteria/scoring guide (beginning January 2006) will be marked with a new flag () in eMINTS National Center WebQuest listings.

1. Teachers should submit only original creations and provide appropriate acknowledgements/citations for all source WebQuests, graphics, etc. they have adapted for use in their own quests.
2. Teachers must first use the WebQuest in their classrooms before submitting it for evaluation. If a teacher cannot use the WebQuest in his or her own classroom, implementation in another grade-appropriate classroom is acceptable.
3. A copy of the evaluation rubric/scoring guide below should be completed by the submitting teacher and scores transferred to the submission form. The eMINTS National Center website will provide a link to WebQuests that score 65 points or higher on this scoring guide. Only WebQuests that earn 65 points or higher on the self-evaluation should be submitted.
