The week has been very productive and informative. I have learnt about alternative assessment methods such as checklists and rubrics. I have dwelt upon their advantages and disadvantages and the way they can be introduced into the learning process. I think that http://rubistar.4teachers.org/ will help me greatly in creating rubrics on a specific topic and I will start introducing them into my pratice gradually.
I have been researching this week looking for the right tool to create a class blog and I must say that I see the final picture more clearly already. I will try to make the first step in creating a class blog next week in order to start working and developing it. I hope I will succeed in what I have planned.
Looking forward to the beginning of the next week :)
I also gained a number of benefits from Rubistar! We all know it is important to set up the rubric, however, creating it takes a long time. In that point, I think Rubistar gives a good direction to compose the rubric. Hope you have an awesome class blog! -Hyeyeon
ReplyDeleteHi Tania,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that there was great learning this week. I still have to try out using alternative assessment tools in the class. I think now I feel that i can try it actually in my class.
Apart from preparing the rubric even the discussions also were very informative and thought provoking.
