Day seven - the role of ICT - webquest

So what do you know about webquests?
A webquest is an assignment which asks students to use the World Wide Web to learn about and/or synthesize their knowledge a specific topic. A “true” webquest, as originally designed by Bernie Dodge and Tom March, requires synthesis of the new knowledge by accomplishing a “task,” often to solve a hypothetical problem or address a real-world issue. Simpler web activities designed for students to investigate and collect new knowledge from web-based sources can also be a more engaging and effective replacement for read-the-chapter-and-complete-the-review-questions. This tutorial will walk you through the basics to create a simple or more elaborate activity

in the class we were asked to evaluate four webquests. We worked in group and each member of the group had a role judging a number of areas such as efficiency, use of technology, using high levels of thinking and cooperative learning
Next class we will make a webquest using either a mword or powerpoint template
