What a great week this was!
Learned something very new and fantastic but challenging as always. Now no anticipation anymore of becoming our task lighter, ready to shift the gear once again.
Assignments in week 5 were the discussion, task, a project step task and the extra credit task. Of all these task I enjoyed the extra credit task (creating Webquest) most because I learned more about the PBL which was also the new thing but not the concept and in the task itself I discovered the kernel of learning online.
And as always, our discussion is so incredible. This time it was on assessment, rubrics and PBL. PBL was of course a new term for me but not the concept. I found out that conducting task in PBL is more systematic and synchronized. Well, the assessment becomes a part of the PBL and then rubrics remain within the assessment. A carefully designed PBL and the Webquest will automate learner where by the learner become independent, cooperative and contributing member in a group or a community of learning. Another interesting thing was creating a rubrics. Well, everyone expressed excitement over creating rubrics online but rather it was more of learning to be specific and accurate in evaluating task.
The project task was taking further shape; I was of course contended with what Courtney recommended me about choosing a new tool to bring a potential change for the issue(s) identified earlier but found myself browsing for more. Though I found similar tools but weighing its advantages and its strength to cope the issue, I came to the final placement to choose the same tool that was recommended.
I hope now that my selection of a tool, planning further and implementing it will help solve the issue. I look forward for the next week assignment which will further take me to my destination.

Hi Sanjive,
ReplyDeleteWhat fantastic webquest you have created?it became a habit for me when I go to nicenet to start reading your posts and other comments,your blog also seems coherent and logical.I think by finishing week5 we gained new and valuable information,but the challenge is will it be applied?
Hi Barrat,
DeleteThank you for your compliment, I am happy! Yes, we did learn much in this week and let's hope we climb much higher in weeks to come....lets sail together.
Thank you

Hi Sanjiv,
ReplyDeleteYour blog post reflects how much effort you put into your work. Like you said, every week we face a different challenge but it's more interesting. Like you, doing extra credit has been the task I like best among all the tasks even though it's optional. First, I was between two minds " Should I do it or should I not". I am glad that I have made the right decision. Glad to hear that you are pleased with your choice about your project. Let's face the challenge of the next week with more hard work, enthusiasm and positive mindset.
Best,
Sophia
