Hi everyone,

This is what I understood about this week .A WebQuest is an activity that is developed on internet. All the resources that will be used on WebQuest should be taken from internet. This is also called as the methodology to teach on-line.  WebQues is used to teach on-line to students. As everything in this life, WebQuest has advantages and disadvantages. An advantage could be that people who cannot go to a classroom and take classes as most of the people do could have the opportunity to study, people could take classes in the country side and some others; however  the internet won`t never be as good as a teacher (this is what I believe). The biggest problem is that most of the people use the internet to waste time and not for studying. Despite of the bad use of internet, it is getting stronger and stronger that it is necessary for many daily activities. New generations won’t live without a computer; therefore, as future English teachers we should find a way in which we engage our students with internet, but using it in a useful and helpful way.

I found a webQuest which I could use to teach vocabulary about Australian animals. The name  of the Web Quest is Australian Animals
