My Initial thoughts About a WebQuest

 Well, my first thought of a webQuest was that it is a very difficult task to accomplish and true it is not easy. I have tried several times to make it impressive and attention grabbing but I feel I have not done enough.  The good thing is that there is provision for updating whenever one is ready.

A WebQuest according to Tom March, Circa 2003 is;

“ … a scaffolded learning structure that uses links to essential resources on the World Wide Web and an authentic task to motivate students’ investigation of a central, open-ended question, development of individual expertise and participation in a final group process that attempts to transform newly acquired information into a more sophisticated understanding." 

A WebQuest  constitutes;

·         Introduction

·         Task

·         Process

·         Resources

·         Evaluation

·         Conclusion

·         Teacher page and it also has a welcome page

There are some 21st century learning and innovative approaches and these include;

·         Quality questioning and in-depth thinking

·         Research and synthesis

·         Small group discussion

·         Using technology and posters

·         being creative

·         Simulation

·         Demonstration
