Hey everyone,
Despite my overwhelming work this year in between managing a program and writing ILPs, I still could find some time to check out the blogs of many of my colleagues. Some of them have caught my attention such as Hasan and Rahmat's blogs and had really interesting insights. However, Yudi's blog was a real eye catcher especially that she started to offer valuable ideas from the beginning. Yudi wrote about webquests, which was a very interesting online instrument to use with students. In addition to that, I couldn't wait to create my own webquest and so, I made this: http://www.zunal.com/webquest.php?w=71425. I made it for my philosophy students and I know that they will love it. I will keep you posted when I try it out next week.
Have a great weekend all of you,
Charbel
Hi Charbel
ReplyDeleteI learned how to work with webquests a while ago. I will be looking forward to hear how your students reacted to it, because I wasn't sure it is as user friendly for students as it was for me.
Please update us about your progress.
Thanks and good luck,
Nourit
I will, don't worry. And I know they will hate me for it, but, when they start working with it, they will be so busy that they will not have time to hate me anymore. I know it will be successful...
ReplyDeleteHi there Charbel,
ReplyDeleteTo tell you the truth, it's my first time hearing of webquests (confession) and this is coming from a person who does most of her school work, chores, payments,shopping,ticketing...online.I felt a wave of blows showering me when I realized after so many years of teaching I had so many things yet to learn and apply too, though I'm quite young and very contemporary.
I admired the webquests you created for your classroom, and directly recalled my schooldays while studying philosophy.However I will wait to see the result of your application, because my students are way younger than yours, and accordingly I will decide to adopt webquests forever or not.
Thanks for sharing, and I want to thank Yudi too for bringing her own knowledge of webquests forward to us.
Regards,
Eugenie
Hey Eugenie,
ReplyDeleteBelieve me, I felt the same thing when I read about them on Yudi's blog. It's truly genius...

Hi Charbel,
ReplyDeleteReading your blog gave me energy. To be honest.
I will try to look more into hte webquest page and see how I could apply it with teachers who are working with me. My students are still young but I could try this and experiment the positive influence in the group using technology. It's just that some of us.. including myself, do not use the website that much. But there is so much to learn yet.
Thank you for your energy :)

Hi Charbel,
ReplyDeleteI am sure your students will enjoy trying webquests.

About Carol's last comment on her young students, webquests can be adapted to any level. You can simplify the task and learning outcomes you want to achieve.
Please let us know about your progress.
