The best ways to teach is to leave your students teach them self through different approach one of them is inquire based learning and it's mean "through questions generated from the interests, curiosities, and perspectives/experiences of the learner."[1]
Inquiry-based learning is cyclical processes which start by create a question this will create hypotheses, which lead the students to investigate and construct the new knowledge .the student will start to discuss and reflect based on the new knowledge and this will lead to long life learning.
This way of learning enhance the student motivation and gave him a chance to deep understanding in his topics. In addition it supports the social skill, thinking skill and meta cognitive.
Web quest is an example of inquiry-based learning, it "is an inquiry-oriented activity in which some or all of the information that learners interact with comes from resources on the internet."[2]
Any Web quest must got introduction, task, process, evaluation and conclusion, and there are websites that got ready webquest templates.
It have got many advantages it allows the students to learn n different way rather than spoon feeding ,the student can be do it in their homes or any where not only inside the class and it can be use in any topic.
I am never use it because it the first time I hear about it, I find it a very interested way to motivate the students and gave them a chance to take some of their responsibility of learning. Also I think by this way we can encourage our students to use the internet to inquire useful information rather than chatting.
