Week 5- Assessment, Rubrics and PBL

Week 5-Assessment/ Rubrics /PBL

One of the activities that most liked me this week was handle rubrics, which will help us  to guide students in their learning-process in a better way, to evaluate our students in this century is a challenge, we need to measure their  performance in a normal classroom conditions to check who is performing well and who is finding difficulties, rubrics could be a good help to realize about it, assessment has different ways to obtain and give information about our students, and alternative is one of them, the best of rubrics is, that we can use them variously, and all of them are useful, we can use rubrics to assess any skill or performance, it depends of our creativity or our necessities, they could be holistic or analytic. Another interesting thing was to be motivated to practice PBL because; it helps students to be more cooperative, to work in groups, and to be more independent, furthermore they become active learners, it requires critical thinking, we can use problem solving, in this exercises students do much more than remember information, they need to learn about how to work as a team and contribute to the group effort, about WebPages, teachers and students have easy access to them, different websites could be visit, they select a topic, or a page after that they can debate original questions using the arguments they found.It was a productive week......
