Web Quest

Hello everyone, today I’m going to talk about an activity we did the last English class. This week the individual activity of laboratory was a “web quest”, a learning strategy based on internet resources through links to websites about places to visit. The task consisted in looking for information on line to fill a table with required information about attractive places in London regarding its localization or prizes. So, it’s a search with a clear purpose in mind, a defined topic, takes place in a bounded time, so It was a little stressful. The use of this dynamic educational tool is highly recommended because it allows to develop abilities like selection and organization of information, discriminating relevant data set from the data that are secondary to the search, mainly. Finally it’s a valuable tool for differentiating instruction. The dynamic activity is very useful  like exercise poses a cognitive challenge, I think.
Greetings!
