Web Quest

Question no.1: What is Web Quest?

According to my research, WebQuest
is a learning activity used by educators. During this activity learners read, analyze, and synthesize information using the World Wide Web. Webquests were invented by Bernie Dodge and Tom March at San Diego State University in 1995. According to Dodge's Original publication a Web Quest is "an Inquiry-oriented activity in which some or all of the information that learners interact with comes from the resources on the internet, optionally supplemented with videoconferencing."

Question no.2: How will it helps the student and teacher learning?


As we are using this the so called Web Quest, it is easy for us as a student to gain more knowledge in analyzing different learning areas which is integrated in this informational technology.
Web Quest also is essential in the total development of a student through which it can help to do such an activity independently. It aims to gathered several information from the internet to provide the students even the teachers to be fit in the different levels of understanding. Thus, students and teachers are encouraged to engage on this said I.T. in order for them to spread out their teaching and learning experiences freely. It can also help to develop the critical thinking skills which stimulates one's imagination to produce artistic output and apply the learning towards the passage of being productive students and educator.

Question no.3: Would it be applicable to our country?

Yes, Web Quest can be applicable here in the Philippines for the reason that as a Filipino we are molded by our school institutions to become integrated person. We are made to undergo varies field of learnings in order for us to master basic learnings.
Perhaps, our country needs more improvement in the field of education and through this web quest we can be able to put this as a medium in order for us to be fit in on the other country's field of education. This may also be the stepping stone to be a resourceful individual. We will not just be contented on what we have right now but rather be able to relate on other concerns outside the country.

As a future teacher, we need to facilitate our students not just by simply teaching them different topics but rather motivating them to have a meaningful learnings for their preparation to the next level of higher learning.
As we sail together in the teaching and learning process, we need some teaching mediums order for us to give the students what they are aiming for. One of this medium is the computer wherein we have the six modes of instructional software that will help the teachers to introduce and to impart additional learnings to their students without having difficulty in teaching.

Software no.1 (learning with enjoyment)
Nowadays, we all know that children really loves to play GAMES. It is there outlet towards their personal behavior. It is the time wherein they can release their emotions and it can also give satisfaction to their needs.

Mediatization

As we live here on earth there are many changes that would lead us into a better world to live in. The educational system is the number one factor that can contribute to make this possible one. We all know that there are mediums that we can make this as an instrument to use for the successful outcome of being an educated person.
The youth is the main focus of this issue for in their hands lays the betterment of the future. Perhaps, through the existence of the modern technology their motivation to be role model was destructed by this. One of this means of communication is INTERNET CHATTING. To be fair, there are advantages on this subject. The teenagers are fun of socialization and aggressive to improve their communication skills. On this matter, they can meet new friends here and abroad. It is also easy for them to chat with their relatives abroad and get advises from them as well.As you are engage in chatting, there are instances that you may now how to speak different languages that can help you to be a good communicator.
On the other hand, there are also disadvantages but the main one is sexual exploitation especially among gay youth. Third sex is the target of the foreigners. They are engage on cyber sex. The gays made this as a source of living and let themselves do what the foreigner wanted them to do with payment through sending money via atm and "pera padala".
The faster publication of pornographic materials is arising. As they are not contented on chatting with cyber sex, they also fun buying pornographic materials that can satisfy their sexual satisfaction. This topic is not just a mere issue only but one big problem of every country. It is just on how it matters. The impact of this is also in our own choice weather we will use for own good or use it for pleasure purposes that can brought us into hopeless person someday. The question is, Are we ready enough to face the reality of modernization?
