- This week was full of discoveries for me. I read some interesting and helpful articles about project-based learning (PBL). Students "work in groups to solve challenging problems that are authentic, curriculum-based, and often interdisciplinary».This activity allows students to demonstrate their knowledge, creativity and individuality. I used it before with my classes, nevertheless I got new ideas to try.
- I learned about Web Quest - it's a tool or software (I don't know exactly) that gives teacher opportunities to organize PBL in virtual form. I looked at some samples on Web Quest Maker – I think my students will like this form of work.
- Also we discussed and shared ideas about different ways of evaluating, for example rubrics. Rubrics are a great way to clarify expectations for grading of different tasks . And again technology comes to help teachers - Rubistar Internet tool is easy to use.
- It was rather difficult to choose and describe a technology-related change that I will implement to do differentiated learning in my class more effective! I haven't decided yet which technology I'll use because I'd like to try a lot, but I'm not sure (I'm not very experienced in web technology myself). First I'll try Web Quest.... ( it's very pity I have so little time to practice)
