HI everyone,
Some others comments on the WEB QUEST ZUNAL.
I opened my account and surfed a little bit. It looks really interesting and I found a good use for one project of high intermediate group I am teaching.
I should try it but as I am still learning the different possibilities as well as I am updating my delicious account, soI think I will try to first analyze all my options using maybe a combination of Delicious.com and Web quest ZUNAL before starting it with my group. As teachers, we should first be in control of the technology we use before starting using it with our students.
Waiting for next month before trying it seems to be a wise decision. AsI am working with a month session, it is not a big deal.
See you soon

Dear Raphael,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I like your WebQuest. The topic and task are rather open-ended and creative and there are no 'correct' answers, so there is a measure of flexibility for students. I like the categories in your rubric, yet they are different from the ones used in Zunal WebQuests - this is the most puzzling part for me to design.
When it comes to using new technologies, trying them out beforehand is advisable. In your case, if you have month sessions, those cycles are quite short and convenient for implementing changes. Within a longer cycle it is harder, as you have to wait for another cycle to start and try to correct things that did not work in the former. Just a thought.
Best regards,
Andreja
