WebQuest

WebQuests are activities,using Internet resources,which encourage students to use higher thinking skills to solve a problem. Teachers around the world are making WebQuests for their own classes as well as to share.Students of all ages and grades can use WebQuests.Students are provided with online resources and are asked to use this information to solve the presented problem rather than just copying and pasting material into an assignment.WebQuests direct students to not only search for information but to debate, discuss or defend a particular attitude with classmates.The most important thing is that WebQuests increase student motivation. When students are motivated, they are likely to put in more effort, and they are ready to make connections with others.I can say that  introduction of WebQuest in class makes learning more enjoyable with students, it also enables them to learn more effectively as well.

COOPERATIVE LEARNING

Hi friends! I watched the videos of Kagan 's Cooperative Learning Structures.The video it shows how the class is organized based on the Kagan S tructures .I think this is an useful teaching method.Small teams of students work together towards learning goal.The main aims of this approach are:creating cooperative relationships between learners,building team spirit,critical thinking,communication skills.The crucial thing of this approach is student -centered learning .So,teacher provides instruction,then sets students to work in team.The teachers should use the Kagan 's structures because is helpful method for students.It can prepare students for successing in life.To conclude with W.E.B Du Bois an American author,saying that teaching must not simply teach work,it must teach life.
