WEBQUEST

What is a Webquest?

ICT can provide exceptional support for facilitating interaction and communication between teachers and students, between teachers and dicentes. The WebQuest is a learning methodology that, using the resources available on the Internet, allows students to investigate, discover and transform knowledge. It is a didactic strategy that also contributes to:

• To promote critical thinking
• Develop creativity
• Reflect on decision making  
• Develop cognitive capacities 
• Enhance various skills

Through the WebQuest is collaborated in a useful learning process, Easy and fun. It has been devised for students to develop their thinking through processes of analysis, synthesis, contrast, verification and evaluation. They are also used in tasks that motivate students in real-world issues, seek information to use it effectively, and find solutions to practical problems.

A Webquest is composed of six basic parts: Introduction, Task, process, resources, evaluation and conclusion. But they also tend to add a practical guide, some ideas of enlargement and the appropriations with the authorship and the resources used.
