Webquests are inquiry-oriented activities where students interact with online resources to complete tasks related to a topic. They have several key elements including an introduction, task, process, resources, evaluation, and conclusion. A good webquest provides students with a "hook" to engage their interest, uses age-appropriate online materials, can be collaborative, is highly visual, and links to other classroom content with a built-in evaluation. Webquests allow students to learn at their own pace and explore topics in more depth.

There are three main advantages to using technology in foreign language learning. First, technology provides students with online resources like streaming video, audio, and practice exercises that allow learning to take place anywhere and anytime. Second, technology reinforces the 5 C's of language learning by enabling communication, exploration of culture, making connections, comparing languages, and building communities. Third, technology makes the learning process teacher-friendly through features like online rosters and scripts, as well as student-friendly through collaboration tools and assessment with feedback.

Schalk Louw Connectivism & Connective Knowledge 2009 Final Project
This document discusses connectivism and its influence on learning. It defines connectivism as the ability to construct and traverse knowledge networks. Successful networks have properties like diversity, autonomy, openness, and connectivity. The document examines the author's learning networks, which utilize tools like Facebook, Twitter, and blogs. It emphasizes that learning is not just the transfer of knowledge from educator to student, but that educators should encourage students to form their own networks and learn through connections that can last a lifetime. Finally, it discusses how the author's university incorporates connectivism principles into its learning management system and course design through features that enable blogging, peer assessment, and open discussions.
webquest
This document discusses WebQuest, an inquiry-oriented lesson format that uses the internet as its main source of information. A WebQuest guides students through a process of researching online resources to complete an authentic task. It includes an introduction, task, process, list of resources, evaluation, and conclusion. WebQuests develop students' higher-order thinking skills and information literacy. While time-consuming to create, WebQuests allow students to take responsibility for their own learning and work independently. Effectiveness depends on tasks being appropriately designed and instructors providing guidance.

Best practices for_scaling_java_applications_with_distributed_caching
This document discusses best practices for scaling Java applications with distributed caching. Some key best practices include: scaling out by adding more cache servers to increase capacity and availability; designing applications for scalability from the start; optimizing applications before adding caching; automating problem detection; and only moving to a distributed cache after fully exhausting opportunities for vertical scalability on individual servers. A distributed cache provides greater capacity but at the cost of additional complexity and slower performance compared to a local cache.

The goal is to improve motivation, collaboration, and authentic language use inside and outside the classroom.
WebQuests - what are they and do we need them?
Webquests are inquiry-oriented activities where students interact with and learn from online resources. They were developed in 1995 to help teachers integrate the internet into learning. There are short-term webquests that focus on knowledge acquisition over 1-3 class periods, and longer-term webquests that extend knowledge over 1 week to 1 month. Effective webquests involve central questions, student roles, processing information, and feedback/evaluation.

Simulations bring authentic contexts while webquests provide online materials for mini-research projects. Basic low-level projects focus on skills while high-level encourage complex thinking. Examples cover countries, dates, places, tenses, opinions, and debates. Overall, the internet provides real-world knowledge and stimulates authentic collaborative learning when used for simulations and webquests in the classroom.
Webquests in the EL Classroom
By the end of the session, learners will be able to explain what a webquest is, analyze its structure, recognize its pedagogical value, search for available webquests, and create their own. A webquest is an inquiry-oriented activity where learners interact with online resources to investigate an open-ended question. There are short-term and long-term webquests. Webquests motivate students, integrate technology, and develop thinking skills through cooperative and problem-based learning. A webquest has an introduction outlining the task, a process section with steps and resources, an evaluation, and a conclusion. Sample webquests included planning a trip to London and investigating responsible consumerism. L
