Dear All,
Another busy week is behind us.
I have learnt about webquest and I have to say a big thank you for Ina. Ina you made my life easier this week and you just felt what I really needed help with.
Webquest, PBL, alternative assessment are things I definitely going to use in my teaching. I have already tried PBL but due my fault as a teacher I was not successful. Now I am going to do it in a different way.
First I will do a needs analysis about the topic for PBL.
Second I will choose the most wanted topic.
Third I will give myself time for preparation and do it step-by-step and design tasks just right for my students.
Fourth I will let my students have enough time to do their tasks.
Fifth I will let them use their mobile pone for a change and hope to see how it goes.
This is what crossed my mind and yes now I know where I made my mistakes when I first tried out PBL. Even though my first try turned out to be a failure I do want to try it again and implement it in my teaching practice with the other things I am learning right now!
Thank you Courtney for all your help and advice! I love this course and I do not want it to end....
Yours,
Eszter
Hi, Eszter,
ReplyDeleteI am glad to read that you had a good week. It was helpful for us all to learn about alternative assessement, building rubrics and then making webquests. I was amazed to see the amount of dedication and creativity that everyone put into their projects. I am sure that it must be hard when you have so many responsibilities outside this class and your work, but it seems that you are doing a great job.
Like you, I wish this class would never end!
Good luck in week 6.
