Common Pitfalls and How to overcom them


The major problem could be the lack of internet, because all resourses you can find in the internet and you can try to catch the attention of the topic and develop for the annalizes that you understand. 

  • Using an inappropriate topic. Not every topic works as a WebQuest—it’s just that simple. That’s why it’s so important to focus on big, important issues that are relevant to them or that reflect some aspect of their interests.
  • Assigning a task that isn’t unique. The point of a WebQuest is to engage your students in a task that seems new, exciting, and interesting. If it’s something that they could just as easy learn using their textbook, there’s a good chance that they’re not going to be very interested.
  • Assigning a task that isn’t authentic. 
  • WebQuests are supposed to be about the real world and reflect things that people out in the real world actually care about and need to know. That means that you need to stay away from tasks that seem to “live” only in schools such as asking them to write an your work.
  • Choosing resources that are single-faceted
  • Part of what a WebQuest is supposed to do is present different points-of-view and have students form their own opinions after reading about “facts” that often oppose each other.

  • Unfortunately, that’s not easy to do if you use resources that all seem to be saying the same things.
According to Dr. Dodge, the best way to know if you have created a successful WebQuest is if your students come up with different answers to the same problem.
This way, you know that they have engaged with the topic and formed their own distinctive viewpoints based on the information.
As our world continues to increase in speed and complexity, this kind of higher-level thinking is going to be invaluable to ensure that they have a successful future.
