From the group activity of creating WebQuest, there were some comments in the forum about their scope, their obstacles, their potential ... As We read and discussed, all selection and use of resources must be supported by an educational use in connection with the purposes of teaching programming and not by the properties of the resource itself.
This particular activity starts to take relevant from the need to find teaching strategies that lead students to search, interpretation and validation of information on the Internet. And in turn, can offer a pleasurable activity routines breaking traditional educational practices and developing the autonomy and cooperation in relation to the process of knowledge construction.
WQ Recall that allows students to surf the Internet with a particular proposal and guided (previously selected and designed by the teacher)
Thus, its use in the educational offers several possibilities:
· Facilitate the integration of the Internet as a resource in the classroom.
· Promote the work for projects including ICT.
• Allow the interrelation of areas.
Promote cooperative and collaborative learning.
· Making effective use of time.
• Promoting the development of skills such as compare, identify, classify, infer, analyze.
· to encourage constructive learning, because students performed search and selection processes of information, analysis, synthesis and evaluation.
The webquest enables us to invent new ways of teaching and learning, using ICT as tools for motivating transform traditional practices and use the potential offered to create learning projects that promote learning, thinking and creativity of students in the construction of new processes.
course we must not neglect "the soul of the WebQuest since, as stated Jarbas Novelino Cheap " ... the absence or presence of mind depends on the educator. Depends on the conviction, creativity, values. The WebQuest is not a technical solution that can be used without the commitment of the educator. The WebQuest reflects certain world views and education. In return old values \u200b\u200bsuch as beauty. Engage is an education- anchored in real proposals. Require much imagination. Care less about the extent of content and more depth studies. Veiled criticism formalist pedagogy. Implies, in short, major changes in the attitude of the educator. And almost always a simple reading of a WebQuest, can make us feel the absence or presence of mind because the works are the tangible result of the beliefs of their authors. It's good to be aware of the presence or absence of soul in thousands of Internet WebQuest currently present.
The use of works with soul certainly enrich education. The use of works without soul will result in a commitment to education without common knowledge, and pleasure to learn deeply involved with the objective of the studies, the adventure of developing skills that give meaning to our lives every day. "
"... the need is not a unique soul of good WebQuest, Software, or educational games. Any other purposes instructional materials must have a soul. Without it the products of educational technology may be technically correct but not conquered the hearts and minds of students. This is not a new discovery.
soul Requiring educational events and products is part of the tacit knowledge of any experienced teacher.
not easy, revealing where is the soul of the material or specific education proposals. A judge nevertheless worthwhile to consider this matter. "
I invite you to continue thinking about the WQ from reading this text " The Soul of WebQuest .
