My Assignment

Webquest

WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented lesson format in which most or all the information that learners work will comes from the web. It uses the power of the Internet and a scaffolded learning process to turn research-based theories into dependable learning-centered practices.
It is very helpful to the learners in such a way that they are motivated to do what have been asked to them by their teacher. They will be given the opportunity to discover things with their own or in their own way. They can learn through their own. We all know that experience is the best way to learn. That is why through this webquest, the learners are able to learn in an easy way because they will be the one to operate the computer.
It is also a big help to the teacher in the sense that she can manage his or her class time wisely and properly. She will just assist the learners on what they will be going to do, and that is the method of scaffolding-assisting the learners to learn.
Of course, it will be applicable in our country if and only every school will be provided with computers that can accomodate to every students in every school. In short, one computer is provided per student because how can they learn if two or three students will share in one computer? But in our present situation, it is hard to apply this one because of scarcity of budget due to corruption.
This technique of teaching is very good for the students in order for them to learn better but it is sad to say that our government cannot provide the need of every school and computer is just one example of that. If they can supply computers then....why not to apply this kind of strategy? It is a very good way of learning.
