It is almost the end of the fifth week of the
course. I enjoyed and learned from different tasks and discussions due for this
week as well. The week at a glance included the discussion, three tasks and blog
reflection.
Although the whole concept of Project-Based Learning is not new for me as it is
in the common practice in the education system in my country, the concept of
WebQuests is totally new to me. The use of Project-Based Learning was refreshed
after reading the prescribed article by Susan Gaer and with the ideas shared by
the colleagues I happened to get different insights to the same. The idea of WebQuests as I mentioned above was a new idea.
With all the guidance given I believe I managed to do fair work in this
connection. It is methodical and directs both the learner and the teacher to a
better learning setup.
The life
of a teacher becomes easy when the technology is used wisely. Without no
hesitation I would recommend http://rubistar.4teachers.org
for any teacher for it makes the task of creating rubrics easy. I did my own
one for an oral assessment and the rubrics can be found in http://rubistar.4teachers.org/index.php?ts=1399834341
.
Project
task 4
I had to reconsider my solution for the problem I found out in my
learners since I get exposed to different kinds of web based learning methods.
Yet, as I have decided before I thought of sticking myself to the idea of blog
as a solution to enhance my learners’ enthusiasm in practical phonology based
work.
Extra
Credit Task
This task dragged my whole attention as it was that much
interesting. I managed to create my WebQuest and honestly I feel great about
that.
With all
the exciting work for this week I was inspired and arranged an experience
sharing session for the next teacher training workshop. The whole work due for
this week was extremely important for me. I always appreciate the comments,
suggestions and ideas given by Donna and my Colleagues and I look forward to
get more exciting work in the coming week.
Hello Esala,
ReplyDeleteI am sharing with my boss the www.rubistar.4teachers.org website as well. I think it is way to important as to not share it in a professional development workshop. I also liked the creation of the WebQuest. It was time-comsuming, but it was worth it. It is always great to read your entries. Your comments are very insightful. Best regards!
