Well, I would never have anticipated this one, but after a brief overview of Differentiated Learning strategies conducted at our P.D. session yesterday by one of our VPs, we broke out into department groups to try to brainstorm how we would use an assigned strategy to differentiate learning. Our assigned strategy was the WebQuest. I was one of the few people in the department who knows what a WebQuest is, never mind how they can be used as a differentiated learning strategy! Most of our allotted 10 minutes were spent with me explaining what I had gleaned about WebQuests from my two Librarianship courses, with names like Bernie Dodge and Kathy Schrock tripping off my tongue!
The question still remains though: How to use WebQuests as differentiated learning strategy....any takers?

That is a challenge but how about if you use a web quest as only one of the strategies you might use to differentiate instruction? Perhaps for the students who do well working collaboratively and in an online environment. Whereas the student who does not may need another approach?
That's true Deb. Or if you had a collaborative approach and there was a site that was graphic heavy versus text heavy, you could make sure that students accessed the sites that they would best respond to. Or even a site that had video/audio links for students requiring that sort of "INPUT."
