1) A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented lesson format in which most or all the information that learners work with comes from the web. These can be created using various programs, including a simple word processing document that includes links to websites. the first part of the WebQuest is the introduction. the second is the task. third is the process. forth is the resources fifth is evaluation, and the sixth part is the conclusion.
2) I will use a WebQuest to discuss a unit such as soccer or football. I will use the six steps to developing a WebQuest and since the students will not have computers in the gym, I will have them read it for homework and base my tests and quizzes off of the information that I put in the WebQuest.
3) Some pros to WebQuest are :
It helps introduce students to units by presenting necessary background and determining students' prior knowledge.
WebQuests also create opportunities to provide this background.
The students are so used to doing everything on the computer anyways. They will become familiar with this very easily.
Some cons to WebQuest are:
WebQuests encourage students to find the quickest answer rather than the best one.
They must finish the quest and can lose sight of the best means to gather quality information.
Students can become wrapped up in the quest itself and become more interested in simply finishing.
