Interesting Learning with Technology

          Learning is main activity in school. As a teacher we always must have creative idea to make an interesting learning activity in class. Actually every subject is interesting and challenging, but some do not like particular subjects especially which is has to read a lot. There re many way to make interesting learning activity, one example is by integrate technology in our lesson. 

              Technology can make our lesson more interesting because the student not only listen to teacher or just read the text book, but they are construct the knowledge trough the learning activity. The range of technology in learning is very broad, here I want to tell about integrate internet in learning activity by use Webquest. What is Webquest ?According to WebQuest.org  "Web quest is an inquiry-oriented activity in which most or all of the information used by learners is drawn from the web". So, with web quest we can create an interesting learning. By using webquest the students will be active to search and explore the learning resources that provide by the teacher in webquest. It will make them feel that they are not studying but playing. 

               There are many tools to make webquest whether it is online or offline. If you want to make it in offline you can use Microsoft Office Power Point and put the hyperlink in your presentation to the web pages that provide the material of your learning. if you want to make in online there are two sites that you can use those are zunal.com and questgarden.com. Both of those sites are good and have different features. 

               In a webquest there are several elements that have to included, those are :

• Title : show webquest title
• Introduction : show/ introduce the stunents to the webquest, in some webquest in introduction the teacher show or tell students role in the webquest
• Task : show student's objectives 
• Process : show the step of students in leraning. In this section most of link of resources should be put in.
• Evaluation : show rubric and criteria of assessment towards students  task
• Conclusion : show the summary of all process that students have done and learned.

              Here the example of my group webquest about Sport subject with title "Win The Chance to Join with Manchester United Academy". Follow this link to try and do the webquest :

 Webquest "Win The Chance to Join with Manchester United Academy"

               The aim of this webquest are to help students understand about theory and practical skills in soccer. It is for preparing them to face end-semester exam which is usually examine theory, but most of them do not get theory session in class. Hopefully in will help them. If you have any suggestion to improve my group's webquest or my future webquest please leave a comment. Thank you.
