WebQuest

Hello everyone!!! According to the information that I´ve already read about Webquest, It explain that Webquest is an academic activity which the teacher stablish for Ss. Ss has to investigate from the Internet on web pages which teacher has provided them. This investigation about a problem, allow Ss to develop their critical thinking in order to analyze, understand, convert, create, evaluate, etc. after that, This investigation will culminate when Ss create a web page in which they will publish the result. Also this activity is develop by teams as Teacher wants. I think, this activity is very interesting because it allow us to develop our critical thinking and that´s no common in most of the Ss, besides Ss will develop their imagination. Also we can search the information from the Internet wherever we are. And the other hand, most of the Webquest are not designed to meet your specific educational goal, besides it takes a lot of time when is the first time. That´s all for me. Regards!!!
