How webquest can be applied in my classroom

I think it's good for us as a teacher if we know all this technology. It's a good away to expose our pupils to all this. They can learn many things using the webquest. They can get more knowledge with explore from the webquest. It is useful to my pupils if they want to know and learn something in a new way, beside from text book.

Beside that, it's an easy way where the pupils can get all the information about what they have learn during class. They can do it their own revision at home by the webquest. It's a good thing if they realize the advantages of using the webquest.

In future, I'll try to use the webquest as a part of my teaching aids.

Best of luck!!!
