WebQuest in the English Classroom

Abstract:: WebQuests can be used in the English classroom to promote collaborative learning through a guided exploration of internet resources. WebQuests allow students to construct individual and community knowledge, as opposed to listening to a classroom lecture! This is a great resource for teachers who want to incorporate more student- centered learning activities into their classrooms.

Abstract:: One of the biggest challenges for any Latin teacher is finding a way to make a "dead" language come back to life. One of these ways, I believe, is by creating activities that allow students to compare and contrast their lives to those of the ancient Romans. I am interested in looking into various webquests already available, and/or websites with information available to enable a teacher to set up his/her own webquests with ease. Such webquests allow students to, e.g., explore the Roman Forum and compare its structures to those found in a modern city center. I will specifically focus on how using webquests can close the cultural gap between the past and present for Latin students.
