A question that I asked myself at the beginning of the course,"What is a webquest and what are its benefits?"After today's class I strongly believe that webquests are extremely useful for my students.
Webquests motivate the students and strengthen their abilities to work in groups.Moreover students will be exposed to a vast range of information from different real resources.In addition to that webquests encourage critical thinking and technology integration.
What David Thornburg, a futurist and technology specialist, said dragged my attention.It emphasises the benefits of using webquests in teaching.The posted link explains Thronburg's point of view.
I added links to webquests that I will be using in teaching Biology and a link that helps you create your on webquest.
