The quest was designed using fillamentality, and this page was done with Homestead . One of the most valuable tools for me was learning how to develop web pages and to integrate it with classes. The important part for all of us is the advice we were given to use the computer and the internet as teaching tools to assist, not as the engines that drive the lessons..

Clever Questioning Art English Language General Languages ... WebQuests • Christian Education American Search Our 23 Quality Criteria Asking clever questions and then searching the web for solutions The key problem solving skills involve: Thinking critically, creatively, reflectively and logically. Exercising imagination, initiative and flexibility. Identifying, describing and redefining problems and analysing them from a variety of perspectives. Making connections and establishing relationships. Inquiring and researching, and exploring, generating and developing ideas. Testing ideas and solutions and making decisions on the basis of experience and supporting evidence. Evaluating processes and outcomes Order the book and get all the details, exercises, detailed suggestions for researching the internet and much more. How do encourage students to think? The technology we now have allows us for the first time to ask clever questions, questions that force students to manipulate information in ways that encourage the development of understanding and the improvement of conceptual models. In the past we could not ask students to compare an Allasaurus and an elephant and suggest 5 similarities and 5 differences in how they lived, because we could not resource the question. We have 29 books in the library on dinosaurs but none would have given the information we require at the level we required, so we have been trapped teaching thematic, broad-based projects such as pollution, travel, space, dinosaurs, Romans, etc.
