Webquest Evaluation

Hı dear followers! This week we met again to evaluate a webquest according to an evaluation rubric.Let’s help together!

First of all, I chose Zunal webquest and I examined it quickly.When I first looked at the generaI, realized that its owerall visual appeals was accomplished.There were planty of webquest pages and pictures related to each one. Navigation is perfect. It is always clear to the learner where he/she could find the webquest relevant to his/her level.However there is any mechanical problems as far as I examined.

Starting with the introduction part, there is a video and there are three questions to ask readers for draving attention. One of the questions is about whether the reader had experienced the topic they discussed in advance or not.This question is about the prior knowledge of learner and helps the readers foreshadowing what topic  is about.

The task is is clearly connected to what students must know and how they will be organized while they are work individually and in pairs. However, it is limited in its significance to students' lives. The task requires analysis of information and/or putting together information from several sources.There is no creativity.

Process of the work is clear and told step by step.But Some of the activities do not relate specifically to the accomplishment of the task.There are organizational tables and some exercises that all students need gain an information in advance. Some separate tasks or roles assigned but not enaugh.

Resources are convenient and enaugh for the process. There is a clear and meaningful connection between all the resources and the information needed for students to accomplish the task. But they do not encourage the students to think. They are just usefull to learn a pronunciation of a word.

In conclusion there is not a rubric for evaluation.There is a task instead of a rubric.That’s a pity. This webquest page’s total score is 36 of 50 points for me.

You can see the webquest page that I evaluated here.

My Favourite Book Project

Hı my dear visitors. This week our assignment work is creating a wiki page by telling a book. I told you the book Satranç by Stefen Zweig. It was a bit difficult for me to create this work because of my first experience to create a wiki. First of all, It was a bit difficult to choose my best book and summarize it after a long time. However it was a good project for me. I remembered the high school days when I read this book. I want to use this project for my students.We can create our common work with my students this helps to improve my students creativity in future. Also I share the link which I told my best book for you to keep on it. You can access my favourite book project by clicking here.Thank you so much!

Creating a Story : A Visit To Zoo

   
           In this project, I worked with Hatice Koyuncu. First of all, we read the initial part of the story and then we decided to visit a zoo in our story. We added many animals' sounds effects to create an enjoyable project for kids. We aimed to teach some animal's names. It was a creative and usefull work for us. 

   Also we had not any difficulties. Absolutely, we will use it for our own students in future.
