A Webquest, according to WebQuest.org, is an inquiry-oriented lesson format in which most or all the information that learners work with comes from the web. These can be created using various programs, including a simple word processing document that includes links to websites.
They provide teachers with the opportunity to integrate Internet technology into the course curriculum by allowing students to experience learning as they construct their perceptions, beliefs, and values out of their experiences
WebQuests provide a practical way for students to acquire information, debate issues, participate in meaningful discussions, engage in role play simulations, solve problems, and, perhaps most importantly, become connected and involved learners.
WebQuests may be created by anyone; typically they are developed by educators. The first part of a Webquest is the introduction. This describes the Webquest and gives the purpose of the activity. The next part describes what students will do. Then is a list of what to do and how to do it. There is usually a list of links to follow to complete the activity.
Through my search about webquest I found very interesting use of this technology
In the webquest students are allowed to educate the general public about Romantic art, music, poetry, and prose based on four main themes of Romanticism: monstrosity, nature, passion, and innocence vs. experience.
The purpose of this web quest is to teach Kindergarten - Grade 2 students how to express a range of emotional feelings: happy, sad, mad. This web quest will also help students learn to identify how others are feeling.
Introduce students to pop art and elements of design - Have students create their own pop art. - Encourage academic research and promote library skills. - Promote teamwork (There will be teams of 3.) - Include the use of Adobe Photoshop and other digital design programs. - Encourage creativity.
I'm looking forward to build my own webquest to motivate myself and students and implement the inquiry based learning within my class.
