A WebByte is a one activity, one WWW site, one day mini-lesson. Using the WWW or other electronic resources
the WebByte is used to introduce science or social studies concepts or practice skills. They can be used as a quick activity for independent students to rotate through, or a team of students
to complete together. I use WebBytes when I want to introduce new concepts.
