Listed are three internet tools I chose to include in my personal blog:
WebQuest, Weebly for Education, and engrade.
I feel these internet tools intertwine, blend, and balance well with one another as a resourceful teaching tool to integrate technology in the classroom.
I've navigated WebQuest.org http://webquest.org/index.php for a few hours and, at first, felt intimidated by its material but began to feel more at ease browsing samples and instructions to create a webquest. Although organizing, planning and designing a task on webquest is time-consuming, it's primary mission is to target higher order thinking skills. One great advantage it offers is, it allows the member to adapt and enhance an existing webquest so as to avoid "reinventing the wheel". As a teacher, I love to share my ideas and if it means for another colleague to enhance my work, I would gladly accept new ideas. I've discovered some fascinating lessons that I would consider using in my classroom. It's engaging, motivating, and challenging.
Vanessa,
ReplyDeleteWebQuests certainly increase investigative and critical thinking skills. There's no doubt that learning is enhanced when it's engaging, motivating, and challenging! Way to go!
