Another week to go, week 5

This week was such an effective and enjoying week. It was a rich week with many activities. Reading the given links was so beneficial to create an active interactive learning process. Rubrics, alternative assessment, and project based learning are integrated to make the students involved and independent. Such projects are efficient and students will feel more involved and active, so learning will become autonomous and amusing.

I also made a technology- related change by finding solution to problems I encounter in my class such as lack of motivations and the fear of committing errors in discussion or reading.  Therefore, I implement in my class a class on nicenet where I download short stories for students to read. Then, I will add a question where students are supposed to answer it and comment on other students answers. I think that through this class on nicenet students will be motivated to read and feel free to answer and comment on others without being afraid of committing errors.

I also made a rubric for a retelling story activity. The students will read others storyboard. Students are asked to present their friends storyboards in the form of storytelling taking into consideration the following rubric http://rubistar.4teachers.org/index.php?screen=ShowRubric&rubric_id=2109171&.

Finally, one of the projects that I started during the previous semester, but I stopped because I needed help, was a web quest to guide students to make a movie. Here is my web quest URL:
