Description
of the activity
Students work with the Webquest in groups
of 3 in a collaborative way. They are supposed to prepare a digital poster –
glog based on the topic Getting to University in UK. The final glogs are
uploaded to the teachers’ blog. In the
part Process the students are
supplied with the resources from the web, they should make a research, analyze
the information, compare pros and cons, discuss what points will be included on
the poster. The speaking skills are developed through task-solving: discussion in the groups, asking question,
expressing opinions. During the
presentation all of them should present some part, in this way the teacher makes
sure that all of them speak. The activity should be done either in the computer
room, or with laptops. In the last part
of the Webquest there is a survey – feedback about the activity they have just
realized and personal evaluation of the work made by each of them
Technological
tools
I have created webquest provided by PHPWebquest. Webquests are very useful to foster
collaboration between students, to develop cognitive skills as students should research
on the web, analyze, discuss with their mates the content, produce mutually constructed output in the final
presentations and during the process of task-solving. For the survey part I have used Google Docs
as it is free, and very practical.
