Week 5: PROJECT STEP: Technology Related Change, DISCUSSION: Rubrics, Alternative Assessment, and PBL!,

I think technology is the only way that teachers and students could learn more about everything. They could search assignment, connect to teachers or classmates very easily. Moreover, they could send, discuss, documents and check their grade on the website.

I agree with Abdimitalip's idea, "Assessing the works of students, sometimes, can be really challenging". students would work hard to get high score when they challenging like that. I have seen many classes like that almost everywhere.

I agree with Darcy's idea, "It is important to highlight the role of the teacher in this process as a guide that motivates students to accomplish the goal". Teacher is the only person who could their good model for them to follow. Good motivation would help to see their bight future career.

I agree with Sandro's idea. He said, "The knowledge comes not only from the readings recommended, but also from sharing peer to peer, reflections about what we are doing". We could learn each other very effectively, even sometimes we don't really know each other. This is how the technology enhance from day by day.

This is my rubric link: http://rubistar.4teachers.org/index.php?screen=ShowRubric&module=Rubistar&rubric_id=2509633&
It could help students know how to write proposal research very clearly. Because it's very important for them to win a scholarship abroad.

Hi Davith,

I also think that students can and should learn from each other and teachers can learn with and from their students due to the use of technology in class and outside.

We teachers have to encourage our students to employ more technology in their study as the new era requires soft skills first of all.

Hello Davith and Vera,

You are so right!

Learning is an interactive process, and technology connects people like us from different parts of the world. It allows us to share experiences and know about education in other places, as well as share teaching ideas.

Nowadays, technology is part of our social and academic life. Personally I spend so many hours a day on a computer or cell phone looking for some exercises as well as interacting in social networks. Students as well enjoy it, so we as teachers should be updated and take advantage of the use technology in the class to develop different skills.

Projects that include technology motivate students to improve and develop skills as they are familiar with it and it is part of their daily life.
