Abstract
The impact of Internet on students’ culture is not hard to measure. The teachers would need to come to terms with it to understand their students’ world. Technological literacy must include a wide range of opportunities for students to interact with the new technologies in order to develop a level of competence for their productive work in the future.
The first step into adoption of modern technologies could be bringing the Web into the courses. Web is not just helpful to education, but if used effectively, it can change revolutionary the students’ learning. This article gives an idea, how by using WebQuests the teachers and the students can interact in the learning process and expand their creativity by reforming the traditional instructional practice.
The author of widely used and still developing WebQuests strategy is Bernie Dodge of San Diego State University. According to him, it is an inquiry-oriented activity in which teachers and students build a teaching unit, with information obtained primarily from the resources of Internet. This is easily acceptable technology, not very demanding in resources.
This paper highlights the general ideas of the WebQuests, how it enhances the creative thinking and provides a roadmap of its application.
