webquest
I will assess the process of each students based on the development of the contents of this Unit but I am also going to take into account the progress of each student, giving some tutorials if the topic is not understood completely and the qualification that student gives about his/her work according with a “rubrica de evaluación”, in which they can see where they do not work.
Participation: 25%
Development of Unit: 5%
Quality of the work: 40%
Autoevaluation: 10%
Punctuality of the work: 10%

To finish I hope that this implementation serves for the progress of your learning and that you use this tool for achieving a good work in groups, peers or individually in order that knowledge that you learn in this technological space can be useful for your life and becoming them in practical and meaningful learning into or outside of classroom.
Besides, you can practice with your friends the use of present simple in its three forms: affirmative, negative and interrogative.
This webquests is designed for the development of the classes to students of grade 8º of the school: Asunción Silva, in this place I am doing practicas and based on the knowledge that I learnt in the course of SENA: "Asesoria para el uso de las TICS en la formación", I want to implement these ideas into and outside of the classroom with the aim of improving his/her process of learning and of course of English teaching.
For the building of this webquests I use some tools, book and articles:

Webquests.
The WEBQUESTS are a recourse ICT developed in 1995 by teachers of educative technology Bernie Dodge and Tom March, they described it as: activities to find and know data or proposals for some teachers in order to students obtain knowledge through the use and implementation of Internet in classroom.
This idea allows that students use the time of enrishing way becuase it permits that students use the data of these spaces and learn, furthermore they will work on the levels of analysis, interpretation and evaluation. (taken data of Unit 4: "Mass media, redes sociales, Web 2.0: herramientas tecnologicas para aplicar los procesos enseñanza- aprendizaje del mundo actual".)
Webquests is defined as: a tecnological application allows that students follow a specific set of steps thoward the development of a final project or activity that can be specific subject or multi-disciplinary subject (Dodge, 1997; 1998; 2005; 2006). It caught my attention because it permits to work on whatever topic or subject through the use of other tools nor only only and to do of learning and teaching a mean to transmit culture, to learn of crative way and to learn to work in groups, peers or individual.
WHAT IS THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS WEBQUESTS?
It was designed with the objective of informing to students about the correct use of: Simple Present and it can answer some questions that sometimes surge in student´s thought in the classroom and that they sometimes do not feel very good if they communicate their questions in front of others and it allows that student starts his/her learning through the use of videos, articles, tales, etc.
