webquest

Hello classmates! well this week is about webquest wich it  is a learning tool., where students become responsible of their own learning.

webquest are activities, using the internet resources wich encourage  students to use higher spectative in order to to solve a real messy problem. I can state that it is a really good guide for students, we as teachers we have to motivated our students in using webquest, well what  I understand  is that we have to have to give them the task, obviously we are going to use good information.

At frist we are going to guve the links but then thay are going to do it by themself wich is a good idea because the learners becomes more autonomous. well like everythig it's has advantages and disadvantages.

sometimes they could have difficulties with the instruction, we need to be really specific.
but i think that we have more advantages because onece you have made you webquest your work is done!(for teachers) awsome!

WebQuests also require that students have a certain level of reading ability, unless one is careful to find highly visual sites or has an adult available who is willing to read the screens to the students. This means it's harder to create a good WebQuest for children younger than the third grade or for those with language or reading difficulties. Again, these limitations can be overcome by paying special attention in your design of group work, but it is a harder fit. This a  big disadvantage you have to be careful with that.

 Also, WebQuests can also help students meet standards focused on critical-thinking and analysis skills, and may be particularly useful for social studies and science. By using multimedia, WebQuests also help with multiple intelligence work. Alternative kinds of assessment can be used to judge the results of WebQuest projects. And, obviously, WebQuests are one way to use the Internet in education.

WebQuests are tools, not educational theories, so they can be used in virtually any classroom with appropriate computer access.

I found out this information i hope it can help you.
