Hello classmates and Miss Antonio,

 

Let me tell you that I have been reading and searching information about Web quest, and I found that Webquest is an assignment which asks students to use the World Wide Web to learn about and/or synthesize their knowledge a specific topic, also are designed to use learners' time well, to focus on using information rather than looking for it.

WebQuests provide students with the opportunity to work independently or in small group activities that incorporate research, problem solving, and application of basic skills.

The following six components are essential for implementing Web Quests in the classroom

 Introduction:

      The first component provides the learner with background on the WebQuest activity to be completed. It is important that the WebQuest be related to student interests, ideas, or past experiences.

Task: 

            The second component describes what the learners will have accomplished       at the end of the WebQuest.

Process

During the third component, the teacher suggests the steps the learners should go through in completing the task.

Resources

The fourth component consists of a list of resources, provided by the teacher, that will assist the learner in accomplishing the task.

Evaluation

The fifth component uses a rubric, an established set of rules or guidelines, for evaluating students’ work. It is important that the standards be clear, consistent, and specific.

Conclusion

During the final component, students are provided with the opportunity for reflection and summation about the experience. Students should be encouraged to reflect about the process, to extend, and generalize what was learned

well in my opinion werbquest is a tool very important that has influence in how teachers and students can be organize information to search in internet
