WEB - Worldwide Educational Buzz

The internet offers hundreds... thousands... millions of sites focused on "educative games", "easy learning" and "fun at school". Which of them do you know?
How can you work with them effectively - as a student and as a teacher?

Explore the suggested sites (currently popular in the CR), try out, and think. Do they support learning? Are they just a silly loss of time? What is your opinion?

add descriptions to the links
include some hoax resources as well
specify the frame of the final debate - organisation, time limits, results?


Lukešová, Vávrová
PC Games evaluation and age limits 
https://www.bookwidgets.com/play/VF24CV?teacher_id=5675588759060480 
under construction
activate the links, add descriptions
specify the target group
add some graphics/illustrations - e.g. the game covers


Phamová, Hanzlíková, Kavanová 
Plastic Pollution
http://zunal.com/webquest.php?w=395283
product - presentation or teaching/educating material? saying is not doing :)
more links to topics 3+4 - should we add some controversial ones?


Saidlová, Fichtnerová, Tetemondová
Post-Apocalyptic World Survival
http://zunal.com/webquest.php?w=395478
a good general frame + excellent resources, clearly defined result (survival equipment)
logic? very different level of isolated tasks - the logical background is missing
(e.g. why to grow crystals? what crystals? why salt? what are they used for? money - ores - crystals - what is the post-ap. currency? How far is the storm xx how fast it moves??)
imagine the whole task as a movie script. give life to the heroes, connect the tasks, create a story.


Markéta Váchalová
Totality
https://sites.google.com/site/thepowerofmasses/
final product: to evaluate (in)activity in a debate objectively is almost impossible
systematic, structured, clear instructions
very specific, limited tasks - is it a benefit or not?
add more general links and reliable eye-witness materials on real totalitarian regimes
time schedule?
Intro - "stand against or not" question - is it answered somewhere? should be an emphasized part of the debate?


Scharf, Gärtner
Movie Makers
https://sites.google.com/site/movieshooting101/
inactive links
this is a nice project, but not a webquest.
review the WQ description again.


Barbora Zadinová, Kateřina Ihnatolová, Jiří Vácha
Are you a better playwright than Shakespeare?:
https://sites.google.com/site/playwrightquest/home
the whole play? or 1 act? or.... ? pls specify
offer more links, think of what is needed
creativity - modifying the story?
Process - text formatting troubles
a German site? why?
a great evaluation chart


Horáková
Time Machine
https://www.bookwidgets.com/play/JFTLCX?teacher_id=6106120978432000
a great idea - background story
check the language again, a few slips or illogical spots may appear
++ different types of tasks (e.g. visual contact only)
give the scientists names, age and realistic profiles (1+2 sent. is enough)
URLs missing?
