I.T Based Projects: 
The Web-Based Projects
_________________________________________________________________

In this area students are to create and post webpags on a given topic. But creating this so-called webpage may be too sophisticated and time consuming in the part of the average students.
However, posting of webpages in the internet allows the students, which is now consider as webpage creator, a wide and active audience. Students can also be linked with some other related sites in the internet in connection with the project. But as of today, this creativity project may be too ambiguous as a tool in the teaching-learning process.



More teacher-librarians are discovering that the Internet can be a useful tool for resource-based learning. Online software and special sites like Filamentality, are being used by these educators to create online projects for their students.


The WebQuest is becoming a favoured approach, moving resource-based learning into the electronic learning environment. 


Whether you are using an email connection with other learners or implementing a fully developed WebQuest with your students, it is important to remember that "doing an Internet project" should never be the sole purpose for students, the Internet should be an interactive and exciting tool they use for individual or collaborative inquiry and problem-solving, and for creating knowledgeable and creative products; sharing their own learning with others.


The web-based software must provide tools for planning, organizing and managing resources to achieve project goals and objectives.
