A bit difficult : Evaluating Webquest

  Hi, dear followers!
This week we were supposed to evaluate a webquest according to an evaluation rubric. Before this homework I didn't know what a webquest is or how we use it. This homework was a bit difficult for me but, I think I have done it properly, and also, thanks to this project I learned how to evaluate a webquest.

Here is the webquest I have chosen!

AMAZING PLACES AROUND THE WORLD


EVALUATION:
            Firstly, we can talk about the title which is given in webguest page. Title is quiet relevant to the topic and also, the keywords are provided for this webquest, and selected keywords are somewhat relevant to the webquest. ( title:"Amazing places around the world.")
            Secondly, Task is realistic, doable, but limited in its appropriateness to the developmental level and other individual differences (age, social/culture, and individual differences) of students with whom the webquest will be used. ( By searching and reading  information from different sources you will be ready to prepare and  participate in a debate where you will show your abilities in presenting the history of one of the seven wonders)
            Third of all, The written description of the end/culminating product describes clearly the goal of the webquest.
Clarity of the process page is divided into sections or pages where each group/team o student would know exactly where they were in the process and what to do next. Process is organized with specific directions that also allow choice/creativity.
Relevance of the resources: There is a clear and meaningful connection between all the resources and the information needed for students to accomplish the task. Every resource carries its weight.
Resources are organized/listed in a meaningful way (by topic, section, group or individual task). Students would know exactly what resources are for what purposes (description, or labels given for each resource).
Conclusion is given but with detailed information of what was/were learned at the end of the activity or lesson.

What a nice thing; ''Learning Wiki''

Hi everyone!
This week, for our lesson we have created a wiki page about our favorite book. I chose a dramatic book which was written by John Steinbeck. It is the most impressive book I have read so far.



I had an enjoyable time while creating a wiki page and sharing something on it. But, I am just a learner for now and experiencing some difficulties. 

Finally, I think that "wiki" is a beneficial program not for only teachers but also the learners. So, I will definitely use it in my teaching process.




THAT'S MY  WIKI PROJECT:

Hello everyone! We made a podcast for our lesson. My friend Rasime KOÇ and I worked together.
I think you enjoy it, have a good time!
The podcast is about a story:
                       Just A Dream
 Option 3: A story
   In pairs, you are going to create a sound rich story and narrate it together. The story should begin as follows:
          I thought it was going to be the best day of my life, but turned out to be the funniest. It was a perfect morning.  The weather was sunny and warm.  Then the telephone rang.


reflection:
It was so enjoyful project that we had perfect time.But we made recording again and again so, it was a little bit hard. Thanks to podcasting learnig process will be more enjoyful and effective.
