Bernie Dodge, the creator of Webquest

Hello folks
I have discussed the usefulness of webquest on my last blog post.Here I have pasted the video of Bernie Dodge himself who talks about his creation "webquest". He also talks about the differences between blogs, wikis and webquests.Check this video out and listen to what Bernie Dodge has to say about his invention.

Webquest is a unique idea.

In all honesty, Webquest is something that I was not very familiar with all this time until I did my recent Assignment for Education 4766. I have visited several webquests and found out that it is actually more precise than a website that can be used for teaching students.In my opinion a webquest is just like an online blackboard where the teacher puts everything that their students need to learn. The only difference is information and learning materials are being put on the web instead of being written on the board.I think a teacher can use webquesting without even writing anything on the board.All they need is a domain name or a permanent web host so that they can keep updating their webquest from time to time.I think it is a unique idea and it looks more legitimate than a website because it does not contain useless links. Webquest is a very decent source for teaching students and 100% legitimate for students of any age.It is cool.It is unique.

Here are the five basic constituents of a webquest that I learned from my assignment last week.
1) Introduction
2) Task
3)Process
4)Evaluation
5)Conclusion

IP Phone

An IP phone is also known as an Internet Protocol phone or VOIP phone (Voice over Internet Protocol). It is a booming technology which was first introduced by Cisco technology. An IP phone works just like a normal telephone or a cell phone but the transmission of data takes place over the internet. Use of an IP phone can also be called the transmission of Voice. This technology can replace the use of normal telephone conferencing as it has very low cost. All you need to perform a Telephone conference is an IP phone and High Speed Internet. It can be used as a web based teaching tool for online education. Many professors today use telephone conferencing with Graduate students who are involved in the Online education. This technology can help reduce the cost and charge no phone bill at all.
