"He believed that learning came from within and that the best and most lasting way to bring latent knowledge to awareness was through the process of continual questioning and unconventional inquiry. For Socrates, answers were always steps on the way to deeper questions. (Cookson)"
Socrates put all emphasis on questioning and, thus, advancing through finding answers. I believed he'd approve of our advanced technology because it allows most people to find the answer to almost any question at Sonic-the-Hedgehog quick speed (I grow weary of the saying: lightning quick speed). Web Quests extension are just another of that ability.
That's right! Good learning is dependent upon good questions! Good teachers teach students how to ask good questions!
