This paper introduces a new teaching strategy called a DiscoveryMission, which builds on from
and is a newer version of a WebQuest, which is a web-based learning experience for students.
First year pre-service education students were introduced to the DiscoveryMission and completed
one as part of an educational technology course. This paper describes a DiscoveryMission and
presents initial findings of the data collected. Results include students being engaged and enjoying
completing a DiscoveryMission and that they would use them in their teaching in the future.This paper introduces a new teaching strategy called a DiscoveryMission, which builds on from
