Hi, Partners
A loaded work this week, so much but very interesting and useful, the idea to use technology in class envolving the students in a new way of learning, day by day encourage and cheer them to use their internet knowledge in an academic pourpose for the class, it`s amazing.
The teachers, students and parents focus the students’ process based on a number. For example in my work we grade our students over 10 and if they have less than 7 they simply fail. And sometimes we do not care about the students’ emotions, or problems they might have gone though at the moment of giving a test, quiz or lesson. We have to remember that assessment of student learning is the process of evaluating the extent to which the students have developed their knowledge, understanding and abilities and a simple score does not give us that. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on a continue assessment; on other words, to assess our students in a daily basis, assess the students in their daily accomplishments, a reading task, a conversation practice, on their communication skills.... Rubrics are also the key for a good performance students have to know exactly what they are going to be graded on so they can do their best on the different tasks they are asked to do.
Hi Edu
ReplyDeleteI like your point, that we should see the entire students as a human, full of emotions and events outside of class. It is easy to forget that, especially in large classes.

Hello Edu
ReplyDeleteI 'm totally agree about your ideas whrn you said that the students really to work with new tool especially at the university because they can be more independant and original, but is really importa that we as teachers help them and guide them to do a great job don' you think that?
