My Guess: I believe WebQuest is a place online where we can go and look at "reliable" resources for projects.

Partial understanding: After going to the WebQuest site and receiving instructions for the "quest" that I have been sent on, I understand more of what it is about. WebQuest is where I will learn about the MEL model. will create a presentation in either one of three programs and I will use one of the learning styles to present it. So if I am visual, then I ill make my presentation visually.

Better comprehension: I know understand more of what MEL is all about. MEL is ways in which teachers can fully engage their students into their class work, while using type I and type II ways of learning. MEL is broken up into four categories which highlight big topics or areas that teachers should focus on improving. By making improvements to the teachers’ way of teaching, way of presenting the content, and the teachers’ attitude about learning, the students can feel more relaxed and eager to learn.

Final evaluation: After creating and judging MEL presentations, I now have a clear understanding for what WebQuest is. WebQuest is a model of teaching that bring 9 important elements into consideration for effecitve classroom learning. By foucusing on and perfecting these 9 compontents, a classroom can become more efficient and produce greater learning results. Classrooms not following this model may experience unengage students, a lack or teacher/ student relationships, and lack a variety of teahcing styles, learning models, and creatvity. MEL helps teachers develop and use a variety of learn resoucres and materials, create positive and fun relationships, and encourage studnets to do the best they can. The MEL learning model demonstrates and explains these goals.
