week five was excellent week for me. I finally found out what will be my final project about and set some standards for the future. I really found out myself in this week topic. during this thirteen years of teaching, I've passed the way from teacher (control freak and self centered ) via teacher (knowledge keeper), to teacher focused to the students education and development. It was really hard to step out of my comfort zone , but hopefully I did it.
Creating rubrics was something that confused me. At first I didn't know how to set criteria , but , step by step, I created list of rubrics. It was fun and challenging at the same time. I'll revise it again, just before the project start.
WebQuest is real discovery for me. When Iryna posted link to her WebQuest I was amazed. How the hell did she do that? To be honest, I spent half an hour searching on how to create my own WQ. Finally, I had to sign in on the site , and the gates of WQ opened. I immediately recognized it as my chance to create WQ for my final project. It's excellent web tool for the students. I was double-minded if I ask my students to create WQ or I will create WQ for them? As it was our extra credit this week to make a WQ, I decided to do it myself and put all my ideas on the future project there. I have to add some more details, clarify some details and ask my students to join me on the WQ. I think this will be excellent opportunity for them to learn, enjoy and develop themselves.
writing blogs, really reminds me, every time, on my development path I've passed so far .... I'm pretty satisfied up to now, how about you?
