Conclusion:
This webquest has served two main objectives for the students.
They have learned a range of skills in working with information technology and
they have learned much about the history of their school.
The majority of our first year students will not have come to us from our primary sector but from many different primary schools and so have no knowledge of Scoil Eoin or its history.
The webquest was gauged at basic skill level in information technology because the students’ prior experience was limited and the webquest sought to increase their I.T. skills as well as providing historical information on Scoil Eoin.
The Junior Certificate School Programme syllabus is composed of short term, specific, achievable goals and the webquest enquiry will assist this type of learning format.
And finally, the students helped produce this small historical record of an eventful year in the life of Scoil Eoin with highs and lows, fun and laughter, tears and sorrow.
