WebQuest Questions

1. What is a WebQeust?
- It’s a virtual lesson created through the internet and posted as a website of its own. Students will learn about a subject while performing activities and attempting a challenge at the end. This also gives students an opportunity to discover learning through technology and the internet.

2. Describe how you will use a WebQuest when you are teaching?
- It would be my goal for the students to first get a basic understanding of how WebQuest works. I would then put students in small groups and perform the lesson. As a class we could also do the lesson together. The main goal would be to have the students accomplish the objectives in the most independent way possible. I could also use simple WebQuests for student homework.

3. Indicate the positives and negatives of using WebQuests?
- A positive is that students can learn about technology and how it can help create a more exciting learning experience. Also WebQuest can provide students with valuable information. Students can also use WebQuest at home.
- A negative would be that a lot of time will be used up teaching the students how to use a WebQuest. Also not all students have computer access.
