  2. What is it? • A Knowledge Hunt is like a treasure or scavenger hunt online. It sends students to pre selected web sites to find the answers to specific questions. • Effective Knowledge Hunts have 5-15 links (dependent on students’ age and internet experience), a question for each link, and a culminating question that requires synthesis.

  3. Why should we use it? • Highly interactive • Allows searching with boundaries • The students have to bring together ideas from multiple web sites teach them to focus on the main points of each site.
