WEEK 5: Project-based Learning, WebQuests, and rubrics

早上好(zao shang hao) (Good morning)

Another week that finished and as every week I feel to amazing when i notice how much information and how many tool we can find in the web. 

Well during this week I learned all about Rubrics and Alternative Assessment , I used http://rubistar.4teachers.org/ and !gosh!!!!!!!! this tool surprised me because a time before when I had to prepare and assessment I always had to prepare a word or exel table in which I used to write some aspects that according with my opinion I had to evaluate or them most of the time I used some assessment that all the books have, but hardly ever  they have all the aspects that I needed, but with the use of rubistar.4teachers, I con prepare  my assessment in just five munutes and taking into consideration the aspects that I need. 

In the discussion we talked about Assessment, rubric and project bases learning in which I wrote about how I involved my students with the assessment in this form they participate and enjoy been evaluated. 

We had an extra task for this week and this consisted in prepare a webquest in which we develop the project presented on week 4, this took me extra time for extra points ja ja ja ja ja, but it was a very nice tool because we can assembling a project step by step and in a simple form to undestand for them. My address webquest is 

And the last task was about: describe a potential change. It was about how to use a technology in the process in order to change a reallity, so I 'm plannig to make a virtual class in order to use with my students. 

In my opinion this week was exausted but very interesting because I learned a lot.

  1. Hi Nori

    Isn`t it amazing how much information we get every week? I truly cannot believe that in a quick amount of time I have already learned many things regarding Webskills and how to use new technologies to enhance teaching and learning techniques. Using rubrics as an assessment tool really surprised me as well since it almost covers all aspects we need as you mentioned.

    Enjoy learning new things every week and keep up the good work.
