What an interesting article!! Every day there are new web pages being posted up on the internet.  I myself find it extremely hard to sift through all the irrelevant material provided online to locate exactly what I was looking for.  WebDilemma’s provides a short cut and enables the teacher to save valuable time in class by providing direct links to relevant information to certain topics.   

  

  I found that the design of a WebDiemma very interesting as the website:

Ø  Presents a question to the reader,

 

Ø  Provides links to other relevant sites for both sides of the dilemma,

 

Ø  Teaches viewer to use the information provided to their advantage and think about the question being posed for both options,

 

Ø  Pair up and discuss their view amongst their peers and as a class.

  

This method I found very interesting.  WebDilemma’s could be one of the first interactive websites in which its uses are “intellectually challenged”, “engaged”, “enforce students to apply higher order thinking skills” and are “supported and guided” throughout the dilemma.

  

I believe and agree that the WebDilemma concept is a great and useful way in which challenges are made at the student, requiring them to think on their own whilst also encouraging them to acknowledge other opinions.
