WEBQUEST
What is a WebQuest?
A WebQuest is a learning activity used by educators. During this activity learners read, analyze, and synthesize information using the World Wide Web. Bernie Dodge, a Professor of Education at San Diego State University, coined the term “WebQuest” in 1995 to describe an inquiry-based activity that involves students in using web-based resources and tools to transform their learning into meaningful understandings and real-world projects. Rather than spending substantial time using search tools, most or all of the information used by learners is found on pre-selected websites. Students can then focus on using web-based information to analyze, synthesis, and evaluate information to address high-level questions. A webquest is an assignment which asks students to use the World Wide Web to learn about and/or synthesize their knowledge a specific topic.
How will the WebQuest help the learners and the teachers?
WebQuests allow teachers to provide students with multiple levels of support within a lesson. Some examples of these supports include using guided notes, using cooperative groups, multiple representations of the content material, authentic documents, and altering the aesthetic principles of the web site itself. A WebQuest can be utilized in almost any subject area, for all age groups, and for almost any ability level. A teacher must analyze the needs of the students who will be interacting with the WebQuest and determine what supports need to be integrated within the lesson. WebQuests can be completed independently, with partners, or in cooperative groups, based upon the ability levels of the students and the design of the lesson. It helps the students to understand more the lesson in a more easy way. In this way, it provides the students and the teacher a support to achieve the thinking levels of analysis, synthesis and evaluation. The students will be motivated to do more in their studies because of a new learning tool. Some teachers are already using it in their respective classes. It allows the students to explore and learn. It does not consume so much time compared to the usual class discussion happened in a classroom.
Will it be applicable to the Philippines?
For me, Webquest is applicable in our country since computer are found all over even in the school for educational purposes. Other countries are using it in their elementary students so it’s not possible to use in our country. The teachers were already a computer literate as well as the students so it will be much easier for the class to run smoothly. It will be a help for both of the teacher and the learner because it will be easier for the teacher to apply the leson and for the learner, easier for them to learn as it fascinates them and the instructions were already there. Some teachers are already using this strategy for the benefit of all.

MY EXAM
“SKELETAL SYSTEM”
The skeletal system is the body system that gives shape of the body. It provides place to which the muscles can attach to provide movement. It protects the internal organs and underlying tissues of the body. It stores minerals in the bones and helps the production of blood as the bone marrow produces red blood cells. Without the skeletal system, a person could not move because the bones are not hold together. The skeletal system is very important. Just imagine a human without a skeletal system.
Joints- is the connection between bones that allows movements.
Kinds of Joints:
1) Hinge Joints- are those that permit a forward and backward motion in one place like the knees.
2) Pivot Joints- are those that permit a rotating movement like the elbow. 3) Ball-and-socket Joints- are those provide a swinging and rotating movement like the shoulder.
Ligaments- are connective tissue that connects one bone to another bone and create the stability of the joint.
Tendons- connect muscles to bones. They act like tough cords and allow muscles to pull on bones.
Muscles- are the tough elastic tissue that makes body parts move. It helps the body in performing activities necessary for growth and maintaining a strong and healthy body.
Kinds of Muscle:
1)Skeletal Muscles- help hold the bones of the skeleton together and give the body shape.
2)Cardiac Muscle- makes up the walls of the heart.
3)Smooth Muscle- serves as the protection of the organs and usually found in walls of the stomach, intestine, blood vessel and bladder.
Total bones in the body- 206 bones Classification of Bones: 1) Long Bones 2) Short Bones 3) Flat Bones 4) Irregular Bones
DRILL AND PRACTICE:
After the class discussion, you have to give the students a reinforcement that will be a help for them to remember the lesson being discussed. For example, you gave them a quiz after the lesson, in the cognitive aspect, the students cognitive ability will be measured because they will do their best to remember the lesson. Their retention ability will be test also. In the Behavioral aspect, during the class discussion the students will listen because of the quiz after the discussion. They will listen because they will be afraid to fail in the quiz the teacher might give them.
TUTORIAL:
Studying skeletal system is not easy when you do not have enough illustrations or pictures that will help you. Tutorial will help the students to familiarize the different parts and its functions. It’s really complicated but with tutorial, it will be easier. In my experience, I can’t label the parts when there are no different pictures. In tutorial, you may use the computer or a person who has enough knowledge in the topic. Tutorial will help the cognitive aspect of the students as they are being taught what the things that they don’t understand fully. There are many tutorials that will be of help to them. In the Behavioral aspect, the students will do their part so they will be able to understand their lesson. They will do their best to understand the tutorial given to them so they will understand their lesson.
