Project+Understanding

**M**y understanding of the web quest is that it being created to engage and incorporate ICT as a tool into teaching for children. It is being articulated to cater for diverse learning methods as it allows students to navigate through the web quest at their own pace. The web quest has encouraged ICT to be used for various curriculum activities that promote social and intellectual understanding. The web quest needed to be engaging and visually appealing to the learners. The web quest needs to have direct links to the resources needed to be used to complete tasks as well there should be a clear guideline for the teacher to follow in terms of what needs to be achieved through outcomes and lessons in the tasks shown. My understanding is that it needs to be suitable for a constructivist classroom where learners work best with activity and formulating their own responses to information read by them. The students need to be able to use this webquest to direct their own learning through the instructions over the course of the web quest and confidence needs to be kept up through encouragement on each link. The students need to have an overall task that they are working at to complete.
