WebQuest

WebQuest

The WebQuest is a new and interesting way teachers are now discovering, using, and I believe, will continue making for their students in the future. The idea that some homework or assignments in class is all done on the internet is an interesting one for me. It is a new phenomenon that I think is very handy for the students. I don’t think I ever thought about this happening when I was in prep school. I kind of wish we had things like this when I was in High school.

I think it is a great help to the students for example, if they miss a class and your assignment was a WebQuest, they just have go on the internet to see what to do and can do it. I think it is a great way to save paper and a good way to teach research to the students. I think it will be a great resource to my students in class. I will be able to help my students in this way.

One way I could incorporate WebQuests into my classes is to help them in their research of theatrical things. For example I could do WebQuests to help them find more info on different playwrights. I could also help them find links and resources for plays we are reading and help them research different meanings of the plays. One last way I will mention is I could help them see design elements on the internet that would help them understand those things.

Video
I could not find the Three Steps video that we were supposed to watch this week. I decided that I would search Teacher Tube Video’s media and see if there were any videos that pertained to Drama, my content. I came across one that looked as if it was made by a young student. It is called Langley photo story – drama. I think this video could be valuable to my students to show them how simple a script can be. They could make a movie like this. Take a simple story have a conflict and show pictures that go with it. It’s like drama made easy.
