Well, this is the end of week 5. We are already in the middle of the course... time passes so fast. This week we have read and reflected on a very interesting topic: PBL (Project Based Learning) which I see as a great tool to promote students motivation to participate in the classes and do their assignements more enthousiastically. The essence of PBL is to get students involved in the creation of their own knowledge, so the teacher's role changes drastically and this is the paradigm we have to break now: teachers are not transmiters of knowledge, we are facilitators and guides, but students must participate actively in the teaching process. Besides, we have read some materials about rubrics, as a tool to assess students in a formative way. We have discussed the advantages and benefits of using rubrics, such as better results in the student's perfomance and a way to evaluate them more objectively, with enough criteria. Some of us have discovered the concept of Webquest, which was new to me. Webquests promote project based learning by using technological tools and if they are well planned, according to the students needs and preferences, they are excellent sources of ideas. This is a brief summary of this week, it has been so productive and the most fantastic thing is that we are learning so much from people we don't even know personally. This is a wonderful experience.
