Webquests inputs for Language Learning 

Webquest will be at the end of the text. 

At this time technology is essential for learning at school, eventually it has been advancing rapidly, that now we are able to study and learn at home. We know it is crucial for the students to have a facilitator or a former teacher in order to guide the students' learning and that can happen in tradtional classes attenting to a classroom for the reason that it is the best way to learn an specific subject.

Now in 2020, we are living an intersting event which will pass to history, we are living under quarantine to proctect ourselves of getting sick of these Chinese virus. Staying at home does not mean that the world's education will stop, that is not the case, we are mantaining the edutaction system via online, and even the challange that represents for the teachers and the students it will prepare us more to delevop new technological abilities, so tomorrow we can qualiy as prepared teachers. 

Thanks to the online system we are working with, it is meaningful to delevop Webquest for the students to work and increase their knowledge, without the helping hand of the teacher, it has benefits for both (teacher and student) remarkably the apprentice will grow an self-taught attitude and will gain independency for learning. That is an adventage because the undergraduate will learn by itself. 

Webquest will help the teacher to give the students scaffle for them to learn. The professor can design the Webquest by himself, based on the programm he is working on. Zunal is one of the plataforms to create an online  activity directed to the class group, where the facilitator can add a rubric where it states what will be evaluated in the activity. 

For the students, it won't be as tedious as doing tradtional homework, they know how to handle online activites, so it won't be hard for them to make their homework, they will know for sure what will be evaluated.
