The Research
 
According to Education World, ''Internet scavenger hunts are a way for students to practice problem-solving, improve their reading and comprehension skills, and learn how to search the Internet.'' Scavenger hunts have quickly become one of the most popular resources among teachers. I, for one, use internet scavenger hunts in my classroom to consolidate their understanding of various topics. It's also a great way to get them to utilize technology in the classroom.
