Completing the extra credit task of creating a WebQuest at zunal.com, I was delighted that I had made that decision to give it a try to the task. Reading the article “What is a webquest?” was of help, but making one helped a lot more. Now I am ready to use my own webquests any time. The experience was not so much for the extra credit task, but for a better teacher who facilitates students to use their creativity and critical-thinking skills. What is more, creating a rubric at RubiStar became a milestone in my teaching. It was simple to make, but if I hadn’t been introduced the tool, I would have never known how. This week was extremely fruitful.

Hello, Kumwu,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that it's great to get to know about a rubric. In fact, it wasn't difficult to create it, moreover, it can contribute to learning a lot.
Rubrics can make teachers' work easier to some extend and make students' assessment fair and accurate.
As for a Webquest, it's a fascinating activity for our students. Your Webquest about New Zealand is very interesting and I'm sure it's motivating for your students.
Good luck!
Valeria
Hi, Kumwu
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you have tried to create your own webquest! It's really something you have benefited from! I haven't done this for this week for extra credits but I will do it later for myself. Up to now you are more lucky than me!
Congratulations,
Sandra
