GUIDE YOUR STUDENTS WITH WEBQUEST!

 Hi guys!

 It's me again. Hope you guys well and healthy. In this post I am going to talk about new term which is "WebQuest". WebQuests are prepared in order students to be encouraged to use information directly in place of collecting it. This tool is technology-based and it can enhance learners' critical thinking skills. On the other hand, it is a classroom-based material. Thanks to WebQuests, collaborative activities and cooperative learning can be supplied.


  



 Let's talk about the structure of a WebQuest. It has 4 different parts. These are; introduction, task, process, evaluation and conclusion. As it is divided into 4 essential points, the students who will benefit from it won't get confused to follow instructions. 

 In the introduction phase, the point of the WebQuest is explained to the learner. Secondly, in the task stage, what students should do as a work is explained briefly through WebQuest. In the process phase, the task is defined via web-based resources. There shouldn't be any confusion about the task. Thus, instructions must be given precisely. Lastly in the evaluation phase, learners are expected to evaluate themselves by comparing and constrasting what they have prepared.

 Me and my pair Melisa, have prepared our WebQuest about creating a digital poster about different cultures and their costumes.You can click here to visit our WebQuest. The original project was not technology-based. It was just preparing a poster and finding pictures of different costumes and giving informations about them. However, we wanted our students to use technology as much as they can. Thus, we have created a WebQuest. 

 In our Webquest, we have explained the task by means of different technological websites. In order not to confuse our students, we have given a website about different cultures and their costumes. Our students will anaylze it and then choose a costume to create their digital poster. As it is an digital poster, students will use technological material which is called Canva. Our students are provided with a video about "How to create poster on Canva". 

 We have enjoyed while preparing our WebQuest. I can say that it is really easy to prepare. There weren't any challenges. All of the educators should provide their students a WebQuest task.

It is an Info - Graphic!

Hi everyone! It’s me again. Today we are going to talk about ‘’Infographics’’. An  infographic (information graphic) is a representation of information in a graphic format designed to make the data easily understandable at a glance. This week we made our ‘’infographic’’. In my opinion, infographics are beneficial for us as it is a way to combine informations. It helped me to talk about web tools I have used so far. In my infografic, I talked about 3 web tools I have used recently – actually this year- . These are, Padlet , Wiki and RSS. I create my infografic with Piktochart . To be honest, it was quite hard to change all the designs but enjoyable. If you are interested in designing something, I think you love this tool and you can use it if you want to create an infographic. Here’s my Infographic. I hope you like it! If you have any comment about these web tools, let me know!  ; )
