WebQuests

"A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented activity in which most or all of the

information used by learners is drawn from the Web.

WebQuests are designed to use learners' time well, to focus on using

information rather than looking for it, and to support learners' thinking at

the levels of analysis, synthesis and evaluation."

 

Initially you may prefer to use existing webquests.There are many of these

available and you can access them from your reviews and publications relating

to FFL.

Entering webquests into your search engine will also produce a list you can

investigate.

(I have found that COPERNIC is an excellent multi search engine - when

downloading you are asked if you wish to have another language also.....

see more about this at their website, www.copernic.com

 

Task 5:
1. Look at five of the following webquests and
comment on their degree of usefulness in your program.
2. Search the web for another 5 webquests for your French
class and give a "critique"on each one.IMPORTANT TECHNICAL POINT:
EACH OF THE FOLLOWING SITES WILL NOT OPEN IN A NEW WINDOW SO YOU MUST
USE THE "BACK" ICON ON THE TOOLBAR TO RETURN TO THE FRENCH-TECH PAGE.

The next step of course is for you to create your own webquests. Lots of useful information is
available at Bernie Dodge's web page.
There is an excellent template available for you to use with any age student.
 

Ideas to think about......
 
Your school may wish to consider the WebQuest information available from "Web and Flow".
