This week, I was prompted to look at ways student learning can be enhanced with the use of technology resources , and online tools.
There are two types: knowledge that is accumulated and stored, and knowledge that is attained in order to accomplish something. I want my students to do something with the knowledge they attain, and technology can provide the bridge to accomplish this. If appropriately incorporated, it can engage students and cause them to ask "why".
Webquest can be considered as "knowledge as design" because it helps them take the information they attain to answer the "why". Webquest are engaging, and promote higher level thinking skills.
This is just one of the benefits of technology being utilized in the educational setting.
