Week 9

In the article, A Good Teaching Technique: WebQuests describes the new teaching tool WebQuest. The author provides detailed information about the structure of good WebQuests. The author also includes the strengths and weaknesses along with the challenges teachers or administrators might face. I felt this was a very beneficial article because it included not only the strengths of WebQuest, but also the weaknesses of WebQuest.

In the article, “I Guess It Was Pretty Fun” Using WebQuests in the Middle School Classroom focuses on ten suggestions for teachers to take into account when assigning an assignment using WebQuest. I liked how the article touched upon collaboration. Especially in today’s society students do not get to collaborate much outside the classroom because of all the electronic games there are out on the market. Overall, I feel that WebQuest is a fun, great way for students to collaborate and work together as teams do to complete a project.
