A webquest is an assignment which asks students to use the World Wide Web to learn about and/or synthesize their knowledge a specific topic. A “true” webquest, as originally designed by Bernie Dodge and Tom March, requires synthesis of the new knowledge by accomplishing a “task,” often to solve a hypothetical problem or address a real-world issue. 
                                                                                                                                                               
 Advantages of Web Quest        

I. Students:                                 

                         o        Similar structure across Web Quests - Ease of use.

                               resources.  

                         o        Motivating (stimulates learner’s imagination)

                               classmates' quest.)

B) Disadvantages:                       

I. Students:

                      o        Most Web Quests are not designed to meet your specific

                            state/provincial educational curriculum

                      o      Access (slow web connectivity and inadequate number of computers)

                      o        Resource links readability often too high

                            information literacy skills

                      o        Inflexible structure

                      o      Emphasis on teaching skills required to read Web Quests 

                      o      Encourages effective & structured use of Internet time (inquiry based

                           lessons/units are designed so as to guide students through

                           educational/ meaningful learning experiences)

           o     Accommodates learners' diverse learning needs (individual and group

                           work)

III. Teachers and Students:

This week's article talked about the Susan G.
and personally what I liked was the way she related the interests of students with learning, in fact, as future teachers is one of the main things that we must take into account because in this way, the student feel more comfortable, proided more attention and be as easy learning.

In this week I learned how to use delicious page.
well, I did my page and I edited it.
First, I search some pages that I have saved to improve my English, I mean, some pages when you can find excercices, activities and information about English grammar.

Delicious page is used to share links about different topics

Today, I explored in wikispace and I think thin page is an entertaining way to share things like your knowledge about English, share links to help people, and why not? make a new friends :)

I edited my  profile  and I happy for this. ^^
So, I visited some links that Ms. Lety put it, and I like it =D
