Week 5: Reflection


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.

  1. Hello, Kumwu,

    I 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!

  2. Hi, Kumwu

    I 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
