Creating a Web Quest

When a student is looking to create a Web Quest he/she is required to have a bit information of the main ideas and points that are related o that topic.

First of all, the first main point that the student should aware about is how to define a Web Quest that could be considered as how the student interact with internet resources through browsing to find out information if it was required for reading or preparing assignments either for schools or universities.

Moreover, the other main point that is important to be aware of is the importance of using the Web Quest; where we can say that it is important to use the Web Quest because it will increase the motivation between the students in the classroom, it will build a high level of critical and reflective thinking in students, and it will challenge the students to better use the web browser to browse for information.

So once the student became aware of all these information  he/she will start creating a Web Quest there are two main software should be used to create the Web Quest which are the PowerPoint and the Word Document by following the five main steps in creating that are Introduction, Task, Evaluation, and Conclusion.

So by taking these steps individually in explaining we will be later fluent in creating a good Web Quest, so firstly in the Introduction step the student should draw and write down all the information that they have regarding the topic that requires creating a Web Quest.

The second step is the task when the student will be able to provide a brief explanation of the activities and objectives desired to achieve. For the process which is the third step; the students will be distributed into groups and they will describe what are the steps should be followed to achieve the goals, while on the other hand the teacher should provide a goals assistance and resources for the students. In addition, the fourth step is the Evaluation, to decide how the students to be assessed. And finally, the Conclusion which summarize the experience give a good reflection of the process.

In my point of view that creating a Web Quest was unknown years ago, and I didn’t use to create similar to this the same as now a days because the Internet was not available in houses such as these days.

Moreover, Ministry of Education encouraging creating Web Quests more and more especially when these Web Quests will be marked as quizzes or exams by teachers and professors.
