Weekly Reflection # 5

After to read the articles I have to say that PBL makes a fundamental shift from a focus on teaching to a focus on learning. Also it increase motivation for life long learning; likewise PBL improves student´s learning and skills as they deal with authentic problems.Wabquest is highly versatil, it increases student´s motivation, they face an authentic task given real resources to work with, and Webquest forces students to transform information into something else. In order to engage students in higher level cognition, Webquest use scaffolding.

In this week I knew how PBL could affect student motivation and behavior in class, Students can work on their own space, I knew to apply Project based Learning by preparing Webquest on http://zunal.com. Also I took into consideration the previous project step I described a technology-related change that I will implement to address the problem.What most caught my attention was Rubistar. Is very interesting to know about the technology solutions, if you want to evaluate you just enter the things and the website creates the rubric automatically with the specifications you previously gave.

Thanks
