Webquest

   As our teacher is a ICT teacher on a high school he wanted us to learn by some alternative ways, not only the usual or the traditional ones. He always put all the contents and information on our virtual forum 'Moodle'. In this class he spoke about what a Prezi is (a kind of online powerpoint but with more functions and advantages like the online instant work of the members of a group) and we realize what a wonderful tool is (and not stoping to using it), about other forms of learning using computers or didactic videos like this funny one (in spanish):

... and finally, this: a webquest.

   The base of a Webquest is that you have to run a research with some contents and references that are provided by the teacher. First, for knowing what was exactly a Webquest he gave us this link. Then, once we know what was this new form of working, he show us how the activity must be developed by gaving us this other link. 

   The main parts a Webquest should have are:

Introduction: it should be interesting, didactic and appealing in other to catch students attention.

Task: here we explain what we are going to do, why and why this theme and not other. Why are we interested on that? The objectives must be specified here and also the main question.

Resources: from where we have obtained the information (usually on internet as it is an internet tool).

Process: how are we going to do that? Steps and roll of the students in the topic.

Evaluation: it sais how students are going to obtain assessment (it is necessary for them to have a feedback).

Conclusion: what have we learn at the end? Answer the focus question and revision of the work.

   The major advantages I see in a Webquest is that the information you have to manage is provided by the teacher, you don't have to look for nothing else and you are not allow to do this and make mistakes on that research, searching for wrong information which you have no idea.
