That Friday class was a mix up class; combination of Tuesday lab session and Wednesday lab session. A lot of troubles came to surface. The air-conditioner did not work well and the internet connection as well. Only a few of us managed to penetrate the internet connection included me. From my side the reason remained unknown why. Oh, what a day! Then, we asked to form a group and search the website of WebQuest via the link webquest.org. Exploration did goes well and then, an activity we asked to complete was about defining character, identifying characters attribution and assessing the characters of anonymous person elected. We did this activity trough the Microsoft Word in class and submitted it to Dr. Burn's email.
This website is absolutely created for teachers and already proven that "tens of thousands of teachers have embraced WebQuests as a way to make good use of the internet while engaging their students in the kinds of thinking that the 21st century requires. The model has spread around the world with special enthusiasm in Brazil. Spain, China, Australia and Holland". (WebQuest.Org: Home). WebQuest is seemingly only for teachers as teaching aid in searching content for teaching in class. There are a lot of activities and teaching contents provided for teachers to ease them. However, the appearance of this website is complex and uneasy to be used for the first time. A lot of time need to be taken to explore this website deeper as it is so functionable for teachers. But still, this website is totally useful for teachers even it is not so interesting from the first view.
