WebQuests incorporate the use of PBL as it provides teachers with the opportunity to upload quests online for students to access anytime. This allows for a fun and exciting way for students to work through problems by using information provided. This supports students development of critical thinking through encouraging them to analyze, create and evaluate information. But, most importantly, it allows for technology to foster learning and cooperation.

Students are able to look at problems occuring within their own neighbourhoods and can be encouraged to write a letter to a government official. This encourages students to look at various problems going on around them and suggest ways in which they can look to make a difference and spark change.

While I may not be familiar with using geocaching in my own classroom, this appears to be an exciting way to encourage students to work through problems! This can take on the appeareance of a treasure hunt having students look for possible answers to problems given to them. As Bonilla (2011) states, "geocaching makes learning more enjoyable and creates unforgettable learning opportunities for students".
