The challenge phase of the
project posed a real challenge to me. What should constitute the introduction? The
tasks? What they? How should I approach these? I tried and failed. Tried and
failed. Tried and failed again and again. Why?
I had steeped myself in the realm
of failing to un-learn and opening up to
re-learning something new, new methodologies, new approaches and above all to
open my mind to inventiveness and creativity. Gerald forced me out of my
reverie by pointing out over and over again what constitutes a good
introduction and what constitutes a good task.
Finally, I have come to
appreciate that the introduction serves to whet the appetite of the learners,
this needs to be written in a learner - friendly language. The introduction
needs to lend itself gently to the tasks. The tasks which gain energy from the
introduction, describes the activities’ end-product – which in
my case, is a presentation of an interview report conducted among the youth
living in various contexts: Village, town, city- what drives their decision-
making?
Anyhow- the struggle continues…I
have just received a review that I need to improve the nature of my tasks and
that some of them are too menial and redundant! - Re learn, unlearn and over learn, Nellie-
and Kudos to Gerald the tutor.
You are right Nellie. Identifying what to include in the introduction and tasks can be challenging.

ReplyDeleteIt is the hardest part because it is the hub. Every part of a Webquest revolves around the challenge phase.
ReplyDeleteI also agree that the challenge phase is not easy but I know you can do it Nellie, just keep in there!!
