"WEBQUEST"



I have been reading about “ web quest” and what the author mention is that a “web quest” is an inquiry-oriented activity in which most or all of the information used by learners is drawn from the web. Web quest are designed to use the learners time well, to focus on using information rather than looking for it, and support learners thinking at the levels of analysis, synthesis and evaluation.

PROS

·         STUDENTS CENTRED ACTIVITY
·         ENCOURAGES HIGHER LEVEL THINKING
·         INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP WORK
·         STRUCUTURED/MONITORED USE OF INTERNET
·         FOSTERS CREATIVITY AND IMAGINATION
·         UTILIZES PROBLEM-SOLVING/COMMUNICATION SKILLS
·         DIFFERETIATED
·         SINGLE DISCIPLINE OR INTERDISCIPLINARY

CONS
·         A LOT OF PREPARATION TIME



In conclusion I can mention that this inquiry-oriented activity  is really good for students, because the learners make use of the tools that the internet offers which make to the learner the wish of investigate about the topics.
A second point is that web quest makes the students develop a critical thought, creativity, the imagination and the skill of making decisions about things they get during the investigation.

  3. Hi brother,

    Well, I like your link because it is kind of interesting, but I agree with Robert your webquest should be in English not in Spanish, so to sum up, your link is very well.
