Week 5

Oh week 5 has been a challenge and a blessing. A challenge because I haven't been well (health wise) and a blessing because as every week I've learned so much.

PBL is a great way to build students independence and it helps them improve their research skills; It also gives them a sense of community, when they work in groups.

Rubrics... As I posted on Nicenet, we (teachers) tend to forget about rubrics, we think because we are experienced we don't need a piece of paper how to assign points and when you think about it, this is not good! Rubrics is an excellent tool to evaluate students, they feel better when they know exactly what they are going to be evaluated on and it makes our job simpler.

Our project tasks... This week we presented a tech oriented solution to the issue we posted on week 4. I still don't picture how my project is going to come out. I hope it all adds up!

Learned a lot... now getting ready for week 6!
