Welcome to my Web Tour. I am interested in student-centered activities that are collaborative in nature. WebQuest (which we will explore in detail) is probably one of the first of these task-oriented, higher-ordered thinking activities that encourage students to work together for a common cause by seeking and evaluating knowledge collaboratively. I became interested in WebQuests and its associated inquire-based activities while taking classes through TESOL's certificate program on online teaching and learning. Since then, I've been tinkering with designing (and ongoing redesigning) of projects related to my mock course on advanced reading and writing through literature course for adult ESL learners.
I've also decided to work on an (this) associated page on blogging and HTML for composing the report. In a way it's a bit of three activities rolled into one: a web tour, working on a blog, and improving my page design with HTML. I've broken this web tour into five areas that (roughly) mirror the layout for most web-inquiry authoring tools: The Introduction, The Task, The Process, Conclusion. I didn't include Evaluation here, though, mainly because I can't for the life of me figure out how to move existing posts within a blog. (Once you create a new post it automatically goes to the top heading and I didn't want to have Evaluation as the first post. I forgot to include it in my shell post. Anyway, one is suppose to be able to move posts from blog to blog, but am not sure if this can be done within an existing blog.
