WebQuests By Phil Brabbs

If it’s so amazing, why aren’t we all using the Internet in class?  Shortage of computers  Technical problems  Having access to the Internet is not the same as knowing how to use it to teach English

PROJECT WORK  Standard tool for English teachers  Students need to collect information

THE INTERNET AND PROJECT WORK ADVANTAGES  Fantastic source of information  English is one of the main languages of the Internet PROBLEM  Like looking for a needle in a haystack Students should spend time using information, not looking for it

WHAT IS A WEBQUEST? A project which uses the Internet as its main source of information

EXAMPLE OF A WEBQUEST Written by Cynthia Matzat And Now a Word from Our Sponsor A WebQuest on Propaganda

IMPORTANT FEATURES (2) Y Motivating task - creativity, individual choice, interpretation Y Teacher supplies websites - students don’t waste time searching Y Higher level thinking skills - analysing, synthesizing, evaluating Y Cooperative work Y Scaffolding - guidance
