Webquest Evaluation

The webquest went brilliant. Our group was very prepared for the presenation. We presented on powerpoint, we had prepared and photocopied handouts and we said everything we had planned to say. I am very happy with it.

There's is only only thing I would like to change and that is; I wish I hadnt been so nervous as it went really good. Our group covered all the necessary requirements;

• Activity itself-Written and Oral Assignment
• Curriculum Integration
• Constructivism Application
• Hardware and Software requirements and the physical environments
• Rubric Evaluation.

How does Webquest support more effective learning?

1. The students are actively learning by looking up the information on the Internet.
2. The students are experiencing the information and creating and imagining new information, rather than regurgitating pre-determined answers provided by the teacher.
3. The Webquest incorporates both the weaker and stronger students. The weaker students can be given predetermined roles in their webquest assignment, while the stronger students can do further research on a given topic.
4. Webquests promote; Higher level thinking. They are required to analyse, synthesis and evaluate the information.
5. The Webquest should be designed to draw on existing knowledge and to build on new information giving, therefore it effectively draws students to revise information and learn new information.
6. Its visual Information and therefore its more effective than listening.
7. The teacher acts as the facilitator, guiding the students through their webquest assignment.
8. The students are responsible for their own work, so they will be more motivated to work better.
