We learned last time that blog is one of ICT Mind-tools. Today, we have another ICT Mind-tool that based on Inquiry learning which is called WebQuest. WebQuest is usualy designed by using a PowerPoint Presentation and Word Document. It consists from a main question that relates to the lesson that teacher wants to teach. After the teacher asks students this main question and give them tasks to do, they will use internet websites and other resources materials to search the answers according to the given tasks in WebQuest Presentation.
Therefore, to build a WebQuest you should consider the following parts. First part is the introduction that gets students attention to the topic and motivate them to go to the next step. The second part is tasks. Teacher should prepare a number of tasks and activities so students know what they are looking for. The third part is process. Teacher should give clear steps to students to follow it, like dividing them into groups and giving them a certain websites to check on. The forth part is evaluation. Teacher should give a clear rubric of evaluation that will be assessed according to it. Last part is conclusion. Teacher should write a conclusion to the lesson that should summaries the lesson ideas.
In last, I think WebQuest is an interesting ICT tool that students almost like. Its idea is near to Intel course that I attended last year in involving ICT in lessons teaching.
