My partner and I wanted to choose a topic that wasn’t too complex to be broken down efficiently, but not so simple that it would be boring. In the end, we chose the digestive system as the topic for our web quest. We thought that using the digestive system as our topic would allow us to come up with creative and enjoyable activities/assignments. In addition, we decided that our web quest would greatly benefit the students, as they can do more to take care of their bodies if they understand them more. Moreover, the students will gain much because the activities are diverse and enjoyable.
The most important lesson I learned from this activity is that learning has been revolutionized by technology, so that students can enjoy learning no matter what the topic; it all depends on the teacher. I liked that the web-quests were simple to create, and easy for students to access and understand. The web quests were what you made of them; if it were boring, that’s because you made it so. The only thing I didn’t like was some of the other web quests; they included PowerPoint activities and I don’t think that’s appropriate for grades 3-5. Next time I use Zunal, I would include videos from YouTube, because there are some great educational videos from there; the only reason I didn’t do so was because I thought YouTube was an inappropriate site to use as a resource. I thought the activity required more professionalism.
