This week we will focus our discussions on Webquests, an inquiry -oriented activity in which most or all of the information used by learners is drawn from the web. One software that will help you create example of webquests is Filamentality.
It lets you create 5 different formats , and you can choose the order of your activities.
WEbquests uses sites you select as the starting point for a complex activity that multiple perspectives, possible group collaboration, and afinal project of your choosing.It has been suggested that you start with a subject of particular interest, or a specific goal.For students, a hobby or something they have heard about or always wanted to learn about could be the catalyst.
Filamentality helps you integrate the Internet into your handouts, research, lessons and activities.Students and teachers can access your pages from any internet connected computer.
When you want to go beyond learning facts and want to get into more challenging aspects of atopic you need a webquest!

Hi Gloria,
I love the way that your topic Filmentality works with Webquests. I will definetly go on the site to view the 5 different formats. Your posting is better than a sales pitch you have me hooked on this site and ready to try to do a webquest as well.

Hi Gloria,
Yes, you are a salesperson indeed! It is a great thing when one type of technology can hook up with another that will result in making life easier. Your Filmentality really blends nicely. Thanks for making that connection for us...

Thank you guys . I am glad you did find something helpful to take away from this site . You see , this is qute a learning experience for all of us . I can just imagine the what the libraries of the future will be with all this newfound technology. Syracuse University is doing a good job of tcultivating a new breed of Library Media specialists!
