The importance of a Webquest

Three important ideas/things from the reading today are

1.) cognitive psychology tells us that if we want novices to perform at more expert levels, we need to examine how experts go about their work and then prompt novices through a similar process.
2.) Real Webquests facilitate meaningful use of the Web for educational ends
3.) The use of the internet and technology can help create a better learning atmosphere for students
but the most important thing I learned is that the best Webquests leverage more learning by integrating other powerful learning strategies.

  1. Wow- I really enjoyed your visual metaphor, this shows that difficult tasks are better to get done with the help and motivation of others.
    Wonder-Do you think your visual metaphor could inspire students to work together more efficiently?
