Lesson No. 8 - Higher Thinking Skills Through IT-Based Projects

Resource-based Project (Webquest)

Link up among your classmates and assess how WebQuest can be an important source of information for projects. Discuss the following:

1.  Does it merely provide data or information?

2.  What does WebQuest also provide? (Clue: Discovery feature of the project search, roles of each group member in the search, etc.)

3.  Will WebQuest suffice in case of local/domestic problems/questions, such as the definition of "Filipino" among patriots of the 1896 Philippine revolution?

4.  Where can we get information for local/domestic problems/questions? (Clue: a Library section for local materials)

1.Definitely yes, since web quest are designed by to guide students through specific web links to pertinent information.It gives resources available to students on the internet & etc.Web quest can be a very helpful tool. Students, thus, spend their time learning rather than doing nothing.According to my source, Web quest are lesson plans that integrate technology.They are student centered activities that enable students to work independently or collaboratively with the teacher direction.Teachers are able to support students in the learning process.

2. Web quest also provide some guidance or scaffolding on how to organize the information gathered. According to my source, Research demonstrates that using Web-quests at the elementary level can be beneficial to students. Depending on the age group of the learners, teachers can design Web-quests that are more general or specific in nature. The key to designing an effective Web-quest is to have a clear purpose and objective in mind.

Web-quests can be designed to be an effective use of student time by being organized and focused on using information instead of searching for it. These two factors contribute to ensuring that students remain on task while online. Web-quests extend the students' thinking to the higher levels of Bloom’s taxonomy; analysis, synthesis and evaluation. Web-quests also support a variety of instructional and cognitive practices such as critical thinking and problem solving through authentic assessment, cooperative learning, scaffolding and technology integration.

Webquest in secondary education include the same components as in primary education. Focus is on understanding a concept through the use of the Internet. Students have met the objective when they have gathered information and are able to show what they have learned. Webquest at the secondary level can be used across the curriculum. Secondary teachers can choose to adapt an existing Webquest some examples can be accessed at the following sites.

3. In my own perception, yes, both local domestic office & etc. and this post will be glad to work with you towards completing an argument and suffices is totally acceptable in international business. In such a case. the problem can be solved by providing in the agency.Like for example, a table of data that list metric prefixes & suffices and their values will webquest suffices in case of local domestic problem .

4. Based on my research, it could be the library congress and CIA, free online library.

1.yes,Students who were experienced with collaborative software design
tools provided better learning opportunities for their peers who were
newcomers to the software. "Their extensive questioning functioned as
a way for their teams to bootstrap up to the next level of
engagement." The combination of whole-classroom science activities
with more individualized research questions allowed both for content
coverage as well as for activities that were intellectually and
socially meaningful to individuals.

2.Web Quests can be designed to be an effective use of student time by

being organized and focused on using information instead of searching
for it. These two factors contribute to ensuring that students remain

on task while online. Web Quests extend the students' thinking to the

higher levels of Bloom’s taxonomy; analysis, synthesis and evaluation.

Web Quests also support a variety of instructional and cognitive

practices such as critical thinking and problem solving through
authentic assessment, cooperative learning, scaffolding and technology

integration.Teachers may incorporate Web Quests into their instruction
to introduce a unit or to conclude a unit, as a culmination activity.
Web Quests may also be used to foster cooperative learning through
collaborative activities with a group project. Teachers use Web Quests
to encourage independent thinking and to motivate students; thus
increasing learning. Web Quests can be designed to help enhance
students’ technological competencies.

3.For me yes because is formed by a group of experts from various
industries providing a wide range of services in various forms. Our
designers have the creative talent to appeal to your sense of style

4.In the online library.

[Rossana Bella Palitones]

1. Yes, it provides information because according to teach-nology .com, WebQuests are discovery learning tools; they are usually used to either begin or finish a unit of study.
     It is an inquiry - oriented lesson format in which most or all of the information that learners work with comes from the web.
     It is an inquiry - oriented activity in which most or all of the information used by students is online. By providing links necessary to complete the quest, the student is able to focus on the material rather than spend time looking for it.
2.  WebQuests provide an authentic, technology - rich environment for problem solving, information processing, collaboration, use of internet - based resources.
      The WebQuest provides structure to the investigation of the authentic topic, thereby increasing the ability of students to succesfully navigate a highly unstractured environment. Such as the Internet. Students then develop a product which then demonstrates their knowledge of the problem and its potential solutions.
       A WebQuest also can provide you with a project for a unit of study.
3.  I guess yes because when we talk of WebQuest we are also dealing with the internet, and internet provides answers to every questions which comes from different nations, different people different culture and traditions. Therefore it is not impossible for WebQuest to answer local or domestic problems or questions. There are even topics that we cannot find on books but we can find it on the internet.
4.  We can get information for local and domestic problems/question not only in the library section but also through the internet, information provided by the Website or through online conversation.
