Web:
Activity 1: Webquest: http://zunal.com/webquest.php?w=161957 Time allotted: 30 min
Name: webquest part 3
Type: communicative
Focus: reading and writing
Pattern of interaction: Pair work
Brief explanation: The students will complete the last part of the webquest in pairs. After visiting the
websites and collecting information about London and the Olympic Games, they will create a brochure
interesting as the categories contained can be for example, Harry Potter or just favourite misspelled
words. In my opinion, this website is good to break the ice in a first class or just for an activation of a
certain topic. The page functions perfectly and the sound can be listened very well.
The London organizing committee of the Olympic and Paralympic games. 2007. London 2012
Paralympics and Olympics games.
This website is useful to find out about The Paralympics Games. We don’t know who the author is
but the website contains a “contact us” link. The content is reliable. You can find out about the
different sports that are part of the Games. The website is up-to-date, especially because it is
dealing with a topic that id due to start in a few days. The content is stimulating and attractive
because there are pictures, videos, links to others websites containing information about London.
The links work perfectly and the website is easy to navigate as the sections are divided in different
categories.
2011.Octopus travel.
This website is another site similar to the one of Yahoo and the other one called Expedia. This kind of website is one
in which you can consult different places to go, hotels where to stay, activities to do, and you can book your trips
online as well. In order to do so, you need to have an account to enter, so you need to register. As the others, it does
not have an “about me” link, so we don’t know who the author is. We think the content is reliable and up-to-date,
although we do not know when it was lat updated. The site works perfectly well, the links are not broken, and it
seems to be organized, what makes it easy to navigate. It contains fewer pictures than the others, something that
makes it less attractive and stimulating. Different from “Octopus”, this website is only in Spanish or in English, so it
can be a bit difficult for people who know neither English nor Spanish to use it.
Time Out Group .2012.Time Out Feedback
Time out is a very interesting site that offers information about many cities or countries in the world.
To do so, you have a list of different places so you can access to the one you prefer. For example if you
click in Barcelona, you can find out whatever you want about it. The site is very interesting and
attractive enough. The content seems to be updated. However, we don’t know when it was last updated.
It contains a link that says “about the site”, if you click there, you can find more information about it,
even where and how to contact the possible creators. Everything is well organized and you can access
the links perfectly.
Yahoo inc. 2012. Yahoo Travel
This website does not contain an “about me” link because it is part of a Yahoo page. So we do not know who the
author is, or who the authors are. The content is very useful and reliable; it offers many opportunities for the
students to explore many trip plans as well as travel guides, and it also offers people the chance to book a trip
through this website. The website is up-to –date due to the different pictures, ideas it offers and the information about different places it provides is reliable and updated. However, we do not know when it was late updated. The content is very interesting and stimulating especially for students. It is really attractive because of the colorful and real images it has. And it is also easy to navigate as each topic is labeled and belongs to a category. The website works perfectly well.
Visit Britain. 2010. Visit Britain
This website is about Britain like the other one. It contains an “about me” link but, we don’t know the
authors. It does not seem to be up-to-date, because it it still dealing with the Olympic Games. Although
this, it has very interesting information and you can find out about destination, thing to do, Britain’s
heritage as well as its culture. It may be attractive due to the illustrations it has. It works well, the links
are not broken. They are very well organized. The sound, the videos and the animations work really
well.
London & Partners. Visit London.
This website is an official one. It is run by an official promotional organization for London, attracting and
delivering value to business, students and visitors, so we can infer that the information is accurate. The
website provides information about the different events taken place in London during the year, the
activities people can do and some places to visit. The website is up-to – date because it contains
information about the weather and the last entry of the blog was on August 24 th. The website is stimulating
because it contains a lot of information about travelling to London, accommodation and different festivals
and events, and also videos. It’s easy to navigate and visually attractive. There are no broken links and the
videos function perfectly.
Dodge, Bernie. 2007. Webquest.org
This website is useful to learn how to do webquests. The page is run by Ph.D Bernie Dodge. There’s no an
“about me” section in this website but you can contact this person if there’s a problem. The web is not up-
to-date because the last entry was on October 28th, 2008. This site is interesting because you can create,
find and share webquests with people from around the world in a community and the other members can
comment on your webquests and give recommendations. It’s attractive and you can navigate through the
content easily. Despite not being up-to-date, the links are not broken and you can access the links perfectly.
Zunal Administrator.2001.Zunal WebQuest Maker
This website is useful to create webquests. We don’t know who the author is but the website contains an
“about us” section The content is reliable. You can create and have examples of different webquests about
a lot of topics. This website is a community where people can share their works. The website is up-to-date
because you can also access the website on Smartphones. The homepage contains rankings of the latest
webquests; however, we cannot say where the last entry was written. The content is quite stimulating
because there are webquests in different languages about diverse subjects such as Social Studies, Science,
etc, The links work perfectly and the website is easy to navigate as the sections are divided in columns and
the webquests are divided into different categories.
