I belive that Socrates would disapprove the use of webquests. He believed that you learn better by asking questions rather than having it there. He said in the third paragraph that we learn best by asking essential questions and testing tentative answers. I agree with that, there is no better way than experiencing it actually happening. As they said in the third paragraph again if we don;t do this then we might drown ourself in a sea of trivia than actually learn something. There is no better way than finding out by his method.
When i read the taxonomy webquest i believe that my webquest is a scientific task. In order to find out what is truly wrong with an athlete and see why they over heat you must test and see. As it says about the hypotheses and theories, it is the same with figuring out why heat does it to athletes in the best of shape.

Don't good WebQuests help students find the answers to meaningful questions and require student to engage in higher order thinking?
ReplyDeleteYeah they do, In my opinion, I just don't see Socrates liking this to much in a way of learning material.
