Once students have acquired the information from the sources we steer them to, they must take that inforamation and transform it into new learning. Learning that is relevant to them and is something new. This is a daunting task and it is here that a WebQuest really tests itself. Synthesis is high up on Bloom's Taxonomy and requires students to put together information in new and unique ways.
Transformation scaffolds will help students to do this because it gives a structure to thinking about all this information.
