Brifely speaking, week 5 has been beneficial as I have learnt new things .First,I enjoyed knowing more about how to create a rubric which will hopefully help me a lot assess students' performance.
Students are the key factor to success in teaching .Consequently,by adopting the big load of technology, we -as teachers- can enhance our performance,too.Along with rubrics,webquests and project based learning(PBL) are attempts to get a move from the traditional way of teaching since students will be more and more independent,creative and productive .However,the biggest challanege is how to incorporate and implement these new teaching tools to your classromm environment.How can I motivate students ?That 's the crux of the matter !How to adapt and adjust these assessment tools to the benefit of students ?All these questions need urgent answers.As earlier discussed in my previous reflections, motivation is a key concern for most -if not- all teachers.
As a part of my project, I am thinking of creating a blog gathering all students where they can post, make comments and write so as to encourage them to love English !That's not easy at all but I have to endevour to overcome this challenge.
Finallly, I would like you to watch this video on PBL.I think it is interesting,isn' it ?

Hi Makram,
ReplyDeleteYou're right that the most challenging task is how to incorporate all the useful and technological tools wisely in our classroom. This might need precise planning and preparation which in turn should be displayed and reflected on. Having reflection and feedback from students during and at the end of each experience would definitely help modify the plan for the next semester.
By the way, thank you for sharing the video which I liked as it briefly explained what PBL is.
Best of Luck,
