Web Quest

Technology is now part of our everyday lives, and for children especially has become a an almost necerssary tool for communication and learning. Many teachers are now incorporating this into lessons as a fun way of bringing the outside world into the classroom. Kate did a lesson today on culture which had the children searching for specific information online - this is also know as a 'Web Quest'. Here's what two students, Margherita Possamai and Susana Bortot, have to say about the class.

"Today, Kate divided us into three groups of four. We were each given a country and had to make a list of information we would need to make a pamphlet."


"Then we went to the computer room and surfed the net. This was very useful because we found all the information that we wanted and it was also very exciting."



"With the information we made three different pamphlets, each on a different English speaking country. They were colourful and interesting. We presented the information we found to the other members of the class. This was a great lesson!"
