Halloween is nearly here and what better way to celebrate it than doing a Webquest with your students. For those who don´t know what a webquest is, here is a short definition :A webquest is an assignment which asks students to use the World Wide Web to learn about and/or synthesize their knowledge on 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.
Essentially, webquests are mini projects in which a large percentage of the input and material is supplied by the Internet.
For more information and reasons for doing webquests, and how to structure and produce webquests, read this article below:
