Workshop 5- 27th March 2008

April 2, 2008 crouchie

Today i finalised my portfolio item 2, as i had not added enough information in the portfolio. i finished my portfolio item and then we discussed the next portfolio item which is due next week.

i had never heard of webquests before and was very interested. i learnt that webquests can be anything from web pages, images, interactive games or videos and using these to educate children. however the use if webquests, especially in primary education, as webquests do not teach the children how to search or look for information, the information is given to them. if searching is part of a learning outcome then a webquest us not the best way.

when making a webquest it is important to pose or ask questions that the children can not mjust regurgitate the answer. children need to read the information, think about the information and answer the question in their own words.

 this information was interesting and will be useful when going out into the work force as a teacher.
