6.3.4 Reflection on my initial thoughts about Web Quests

 

 

 

My initial thought about Web Quest was totally opposite to the one am learning of right now. I used to think that, its an application software which provide the user with contents which are their by default. But you find that technology has endless educational tools for teaching learners. It is up to the educator to select for the appropriate tool which can fit to what he is going to teach.  

 

I have learnt that a Web Quest in an inquiry- oriented lesson format in which most or all information that learners work with comes from the web. these can be created using various programs, including a simple word processing document that includes links to website. Go to link, www.Wikipedia.org/wiki/web quest

 

The web quest has some elements of the 21st century learning and innovative approaches to learning. Fist and fore mast, the web quest is an hands on real world promoting application. It help learners to develop flexible solving skills, self- directed learning, effective collaborating skill, and intrinsic motivation to mention but a few. All these are elements of the 21st century and innovative approaches.

 

A web quest also gives the learners freedom to choose what kind of technology tool to use while conducting their research. learners learn though experience of problem solving and creating projects. these are some of the elements which makes a web quest a powerful tool for students learning in the teaching sector.
