Vacations
Last year we spent our vacations in Florida. First we flew with my granddaughters to Miami. After we arrived, we went to the hotel, where we went swimming and had lunch. We visited some friends downtown and in the late afternoon we went shopping.
The next day we rented a car and drove to Cypress Gardens where we saw the show – all girls were dressed up – and we walked through the beautiful gardens.
Then we drove to Orlando, that´s near the gardens, we arrived at the Sheraton Hotel and later visited Disneyworld amusement park. The park is very big and has lots of nice attractions. There we stayed for 4 days and had lots of fun.
Even though it was a very exhausting holiday because we walked under a humid weather, it was a very nice one.

5.- WEBQUESTS
5.-Una WebQuest es un tipo de actividad didáctica que consiste en una investigación guiada, con recursos principalmente procedentes de Internet, que promueve la utilización de habilidades cognitivas superiores, el trabajo cooperativo y la autonomía de los alumnos e incluye una evaluación auténtica. El antecedente de estas actividades lo constituye el uso de retos (challenging learning) en el desarrollo de ambientes de aprendizaje basados en tecnologías de la información que aplican desde los ochenta.
Las WebQuest son utilizadas como recurso didáctico por los profesores, puesto que permiten el desarrollo de habilidades de manejo de información y el desarrollo de competencias relacionadas con la sociedad de la información.
Una WebQuest se construye alrededor de una tarea atractiva que provoca procesos de pensamiento superior. Se trata de hacer algo con la información. El pensamiento puede ser creativo o crítico e implicar la resolución de problemas, enunciación de juicios, análisis o síntesis. La tarea debe consistir en algo más que en contestar a simples preguntas o reproducir lo que hay en la pantalla. Idealmente, se debe corresponder con algo que en la vida normal hacen los adultos fuera de la escuela.
Una WebQuest tiene la siguiente estructura:
• Introducción
• Tarea
• Proceso
• Recursos
• Evaluación
• Conclusión
• Autores
•
5.- HOWTO o how-to (del inglés "cómo hacer") es un documento informal, generalmente corto, que describe cómo cumplir con una cierta tarea. Esta palabra es propia de la jerga informática o electrónica.
• En español es también habitual el uso de CÓMO.
• Son generalmente creados para ayudar a personas noveles en un problema y suelen dejar de lado detalles para expertos, por lo que son en general un resumen del tema tratado.
• También es un término muy utilizado en foros y dedicado a personas que prefieren abrir un hilo nuevo para preguntar algo en vez de molestarse en buscarlo por internet.
• Otros tipos de documentación incluyen FAQ, manuales o guías estándar.
