In the article titled, "The Learning Power of WebQuests", three important ideas or things from the reading today are that when teachers use the Internet in this way it helps the students develop their active understanding of problems, prompting students at crucial stages of the process inspires confidence, and open-ended questions activate students’ prior knowledge and create a personal curiosity that inspires investigation and brings more understanding of the material, but the most important thing I learned is in a real WebQuest, newly acquired information undergoes an important transformation within learners themselves.
Every piece is important!
