WEBQUEST

What is Web Quest?

Web Quest is a learning activity used by educator. During this activity learners read, analyze and synthesize information using World Wide Web. It is also an inquiry-oriented activity in which some or all of the information that learners interact with comes from resources on the Internet optionally supplemented with videoconferencing.

How will it help students and teachers in learning?

Since the Web Quest are activities using Internet resources, it help students in terms of learning because it encourage students to use Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). Students also provided with online resources and are asked to use this information constructively to solve the presented problem. Students are given more time to analyze, criticize and assess the information they find. Web quests are a way to let students work at their own pace, either individually or in teams. Students also develop their creativity by the use of Web Quest. Students will not only learned and also entertain because Web Quest provides stimulating task, activities or games that will motivate them to learn. An example of this is the “hook”.

"Web Quest," as defined by Tom March, circa 2003

"A Web Quest is a scaffolded learning structure that uses links to essential resources on the World Wide Web and an authentic task to motivate students’ investigation of a central, open-ended question, development of individual expertise and participation in a final group process that attempts to transform newly acquired information into a more sophisticated understanding. The best Web Quests do this in a way that inspires students to see richer thematic relationships, facilitate a contribution to the real world of learning and reflect on their own metacognitive processes."

Web Quest helps the teachers in terms of making learning activities that will help students to learn as well as entertain. It serves as an aid for teachers to make the learning process become effective and easy. And the teachers will not spend more effort and time just to discuss the lesson in front of the class but rather using the web quest as a powerful learning tool. Lastly, the teachers will only facilitate the learning process of the students.

Will it be applicable in our country? How?

Definitely Yes, it is applicable here in the Philippines because nowadays students are already exposed to the internet. Most of the students are become dependent in the internet and also they used the internet as their tool to get information. So it will applicable but the problem is, are the teachers are prepared to use this tools and did we have enough budget to support this tool? Hence, there are ways so that we can have these tools here in our country.

How Web Quest become applicable here in our country?

By letting teachers exposed themselves to this tool so that they will understand the importance of this Web Quest in the student’s learning. By considering our student’s capabilities in terms of manipulating the computer and by gathering enough money to support this tools. And lastly, the public and private schools should have enough facilities that will cater the Web Quest for example computers with internet. Trough these, Web Quest will become applicable here in our country.

MY EXAM

MULTIPLICATION OF NUMBERS

One of the fundamental operation in Mathematics is the Multiplication. Multiplication should be mastered by the students so that they can be able to apply it in the next principles or operations in Mathematics.It was said that "We should teach the students from basic to complex". This particular software is intended for Behaviorist students because its all about stimulus-response-reinforcement approach.This software is called as inter-active games because players or students inter-act to the computer by means of answering the given questions. It will work because the student can be able to practice multiplication by means of games. And it is also advantangeos because the students will learn at the same time they will entertain or enjoy.As I said earlier that this software applied the theory of simulus-response-reinforcement approach because the stimilus will be the numbers that should be multiplied while the response will be the answer and the reinforcement is getting high score and in this game the customer will give happy smile if you got the correct answer. And most of all, the environment of the game is appealing especially for elementary students because it is colorfol ,lots of design ,it is animated and there is also sound effects that children most like.And lastly, this software will be the springboard for students to practice and mastered the multiplication.

3. The movie was all about the painting painted by Joey Velasco. The painting showed children in the society who are graving for the basic needs of life as well as love and care.
In the painting the children are with Jesus Christ in a dining room. They seek for the grace and bless of God.
When I saw the painting it made me realized that children who need help should be given a chance to receive the gracefulness and blessings of God.
In relation to education the painting entitled as "Hapag ng Pag-asa" symbolized that children should be given a chance to have an education and the best teacher of all was Jesus Christ.

CIRCUMTANCES

Circumtances

There was a time that I want to surrender in the midst of hardships but I want to fight to achieve my goal.I always convince my self that I can overcome it, I face any kind of obstacles that will come in my way.

No matter how hard to sacrifice but it doesn't matter because succes is not measured on what you achieve but rather how many challenges you face and overcome. This challenges will mold you to become a better person and to test out how are you willing to fight for your happines.

I don't waste my time to think that I can't do such thing but I use it in making something that I can do with the best that I can.
