WebQuest (Reflection of week 6)

    
     WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented tool for learning; this means it is a classroom-based lesson in which most or all of the information that students explore and evaluate comes from the World Wide Web. Beyond that, WebQuests:
  • can be as short as a single class period or as long as a month-long unit;
  • usually (though not always) involve group work, with division of labor among students who take on specific roles or perspectives;
  • Are built around resources that are preselected by the teacher. Students spend their time USING information, not LOOKING for it.


     As we know that WebQuest is one of the inquiry-based learning methods that the students are the center of learning. As I mentioned in the previous reflection these type of leanings were success when I try it with my students, and from my simple experience I apply WebQuest in explaining the project for the students to show them what the project should contain and how I am going to evaluate them. 


     I can say that using this will help my students a lot in the future because everything is clear about it such as: introduction, task, process, evaluation and conclusion. That's why it much easier to understand and apply than other strategies and methods.
