I have come to the conclusion, using a WebQuest is the most efficient
way for students to conduct research. With this method, students can
concentrate their efforts on simply collecting the data, and then organizing
it to make sense. Time spent conducting the research is virtually cut in
half, allowing students to use additional technology to enhance their
research. In our case, students used PowerPoint slides and Streaming
Video clips to assist them in presenting their findings to the class.
Students actually spent more time fine tuning their presentation method
rather than on the actual research process. Each day students would make
comments such as, “This is so much fun”.
As you can see, conducting research can be “fun”!
Thank you.
