WEEK 5

 This week was full of discoveries for me.  I read some interesting and helpful articles about PBL. I used it before with my classes nevertheless I got new ideas for this activity.
  •   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)
