Tools of Technology
Last semester, I organized my first Web Quest and launched it in December. Although I revised it many times, the revisions paid off because my students were able to take off with the Web Quest. I anticipated them asking me many questions: how do we do this? Or how do we do that?
My Web Quest was geared towards the “History of Christmas Carols”. I decided to gear my Web Quest to celebrate the season that we were celebrating at the time-Christmas. My Chorus students were enlightened and appreciative of the lesson I gave them about the history of Christmas carols. Many of them mentioned that they became more knowledgeable about the songs that are sung throughout the Christmas season. This Web Quest tapped on Bloom’s Taxonomy-Levels of Higher Order Thinking Skills.
Web Quests are forms of technology which “provide ‘scaffolding’ support to augment what learners can do and reason about on their path to understanding (243).”
