I can't imagine that I'm already at the middle of my web-skills course! Time passes quickly and I'm learning new things every day.
This week I come across different readings and engaged in discussions about Project-based learning. I beleive in it as an effective teaching method for building autonomous learning and enhancing motivation. The complexity of doing the task in project-based learning makes learning challenging and motivating. Students can easily feel a connection between what they learn and how to apply it in their real life situations.
Also, I've learned about rubrics and alternative assessment and their effectiveness for both the teachers and the students. Rubrics, for example, gives directions for students to follow and makes the assessment
process more accurate and fair for teachers. By referring to a common rubric in reviewing
each student product or performance, teachers are more likely to be consistent
in their judgments.
Interestingly, I've used Rubristar.4teachers.org for the first time to create my first online rubric. I like this website and I'm planning to use it to create more rubrics in the future.
For my project task for this week, I brainstormed a technology-related solution into my context and I'm in the process of writing a detialed action plan to try it with my students.
Loves,
Houda
