How exciting and challenging learning !

 Project Based learning   motivates our learners to be more  independent, creative and problem solver.  I used this  idea  in my lessons. One of them   conducting research on different  topics in English lesson. Students  enjoy doing individual tasks. They learn how  to develop questionnaires , interview and prepare presentations.  Now I added  to my this learning   teachnology based projects . Thanks to Robert and Jennine and my colleagues  giving  such a good idea.   I opened  class   in Nicenet  to my students and  workiong on other WebQuest site. 

 Other very intresting  learning was   creating Rubrics and  ideas of using alternative assesments in our teaching.  Rubistar.com  was easily guided m,e how to create rubrics.  I want it  to share with my colleagues in my CE training because   assessment in our teaching is very crucial.  We use "5" mark assessment and it is sometimes became subjective.  Therefore the idea  of using alternative assessment tools like rubrics , checklists and observation sheets will be more objective and  helpful. Students can also assess themselves using  required rubrics or any other tools provided by the teacher.

 I received  very  constructive feedback on  developing ABCD objectives and  narowing my studnets needs  to my project . Thanks to Robert I am working on  my project and developed new abcd  objectives. 

 Now I am working on my extra  WebQuest site  which named  "Let's learn English through reading and writing" as so I am going to work on my students' writing and reading problems. 

  Happy,
