INTERNET-BASED PROJECT WORK

   Last Thursday we got in teams of 10 or 11 persons and together we read some copies about:
INTERNET-BASED PROJECT WORK

   We had to pass in front of the class to talk about this topic but we were the last team and we didn't have time. But here is a small summary about all.


         As a teacher, you have to have very clear what you want to the students demonstrated, make them understand everything, what they have to search and what they have to do. When students look information they have to understand what the internet is saying, for make sure the information is understandable for them, they have to do a mind-map to put their ideas together and after that make a final presentation. Also, they always have to divide the work, learn how to work in groups. Is very useful to use websites, internet can motivate students and gives you more confidence to do the work. A very useful thing is to implement projects in real-life and organize all, when you have something to do an activity in your school, a project in your home, a trip with your friends or whatever, you can make projects of all for have a better organization with the people, with days, with your money, etc. Talking about projects, web-quests are mini-projects, it can be teacher-made or student-made. There are two kinds of web-quests: short-term web-quest and longer-term web-quest. And now, a web-quest creation does not require much detailed technical knowledge, it is easy if you use some modern word processor and it just needs a little skillset; you can be able to cast critical eye over the resources you do find when searching, to combine text, images and web links.. A web-quest is a site where you can share information, a clear example of a web-quest can be basically like a blog.
