THE FINAL BLOG...

What do you think is the most important thing you learned through this WebQuest?

Well I think the most important thing is the fact that we learned how to work in teams to solve a math problem. We usually work in teams to do essays, presentations or other types of work, but solving a math case like this one is something new and different. We learned how to stablish rolls in a way that could be observed clearly,because one thing is to assign roles, do a work and presenting it but when you do a video in which you hav to show all your work, you have to be careful. I think that is the most important thing.

Would you recommend the use of a WebQuest to learn Mathematics or some other Science subject? Why?

Yes, because it turns to be a new option that may seem like a game. I believe that a Webquest can be good for any subject related to science or math, because it is an easy way to apply the information we learned and all the steps of a math operation that would normally be boring to do like common math exercises, so it is a combination of many aspects that make the work more relaxed and easy.

What can your teacher do to improve the project? Any suggestions?

I think the project is good enough, this is one of the few times I work with something like this in the high school, I liked it a lot. The only thing that could be changed perhaps is the date of the introduction of the project. I think that it would be a good idea to hear about it since the first day of classes. The reason is that we will have enough time to decide the people we will like to have in our teams, and we would also be able to consider it in our blogs since the beginning, so we could be getting accustomed to do the blog. For example, some of my classmates constantly forgot to fill the blog, and when the time came to write about the project, they were notused to do the blog o they lost points.

Conclusion:

I had a lot of fun when doing the project. We planned everthing carefully and we found in our way many problems to develop our ideas but after thinking and talking we could fit our story in 10 minutes. I feel proud of doing this project and I liked to work with my team, I believe that we all played an important role, and to be serious, we did the exact roles we had to, according to the roles we established at te beginning. The best part was filming in the library, and I enjoyed a lot editing the video. One good experience to end the semester was the last friday in which we saw the movies of all our classmates. I admit I saw very good works. I feel very happy because I am going to study something that is also related to editing videos and this project sure was of big help. I just hope now I get good grades in the next calculus exams.
