ITE WebQuest March 2020
An ITE webquest on “Communicable Diseases” for students of class VII to X was organized by ITE resource team, Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai in collaboration with ITE teachers from Kolkata, Assam and Madrasah, West Bengal. It was a three-day webinar (6 hours) from 27th to 30th March and included synchronous activities for students participating from the three states.
Around 65 students participated in the WebQuest, where each student had to select one communicable disease and research about it based on the given guidelines and make proper notes. They also made their own quiz which was based on the questions designed by them after their research work.
During the Live Session with Experts, the students had the opportunity to discuss or share their doubts/questions that arose in their mind or they came across while doing the research work on the disease that they selected. The experts who joined for the WebQuest were:
