WEBQUEST or "Not quite my tempo"

Our second learning tool is Webquest! 

Webquest is a website that proposes to teachers new ways to guide their students online and getting interacted not only with their students but also with other teachers around the world as well, to share ideas or to find out recent approaches in their fields.

The idea is very nice indeed! 

You -as a teacher- can form listening and reading activities here and make these parts of English learning more enjoyable for your students with interesting videos and other sources, or by providing links you can send them off to useful web pages that offer a bunch of creative puzzles, quizzes, and games related the topics as a part of class or non-class activity.

Everything is up to your imagination!

However, there are also some things that the Webquest team had to improve immediately. 

The first is the instruction page for teachers, It's so insufficient! When there's a problem (and of course I had them!) I had to try everything over and over again until I find out what's working and what's not! Some images and banners that I prepared particularly for WebQuest, didn't work out and the system rejected even I converted them into requested dimensions. This time, I tried to upload web images until some of them runs smoothly. After all, don't have any clue why the original images didn't work out and some images on the web did. Also, the overall outlook and design of the website give you a feeling of the 90s... I mean TETRIS age literally!  And the colors seem to belong to the Nokia 3200 home screen. It's kinda doubtful that this 'nostalgic' feeling will be attractive for students who had spent their childhood probably watching 3D cartoons on their smart TV.

Anyway, thankfully I finished preparing my WebQuest at the end of the day by keeping in my mind that this will be for my current student Miss Lovely Berry!

In the upcoming weeks, she will be engaging with the Wild Animals Unit, and I wanted to make use of WebQuest as a review for the end of class or as the end of unit activity. I hope she enjoys... but like Mr. Fletcher had expressed once,
