The 5th week is very interesting for me in some
regards:
Firstly, I have come to know all about rubrics and
alternative assessment. Rubrics are multidimensional sets of scoring guidelines
which are used to provide consistency in evaluating student’s work. Alternative
assessment is a non-traditional approach in judging student’s performance. It emphasizes
and evidences the learning process as an active demonstration of knowledge. Both assessment tools are very effective in
language classroom. To motivate students
we should make our students active in class. We also should analysis their
needs and evaluate their opinions to prompt learning. Here rubrics and
alternative assessment will work well.
Secondly, Project
Based Learning (PBL) is a very new one to me which is inquiry based, curriculum
based and interdisciplinary. Here students may work group wise or individually
to solve the challenging. It is very helpful if it is designed from the
beginning of the class to the end.
Thirdly,
first time I come to know WebQuest which is an inquiry oriented activity that
uses resources on the web. It helps students to develop problem solving and
decision making skills. It has six components such as introduction, task,
process, evaluation, conclusion and teacher page. To me it is a very effective
for learning language. I have tried to create my webquest.
Last but
not the least, I firmly believe that this E-Teacher program (Webskills) unquestionably
is bringing changes in our class.
Best Regards
