Internet Scavenger Hunts 

 

What is an Internet Scavenger Hunt?

An Internet Scavenger Hunt is a brief, fact-finding activity that utilizes the internet (directed) to find information, answer questions, problem solve, etc.  The major difference between a scavenger hunt and a webquest is that webquests are usually longer and involve students working in teams over days or weeks to produce a product at the end.
