This week is very suggestive; this is how I can describe it. The various webQuests and rubrics websites are wonderful suggestions that can be implemented in my classes. Rubistar website took me back with memories 2 years ago to USA, Hawaii Pacific University, the first time I had training on these alternative assessment tools. I link this week with the advice we had then, that it is not the what, and rather, it is the how. It is how to implement a valid and reliable assessment and motivating as well. This is what rubrics can do. Another thing that astonished me was the new attempts to create a virtual 3D webQuests. Oh my God, can you imagine your child or student living in a 3D world of learning. After this week’s experience, I will rethink of the online exercises I am using now and search for more challenging and motivating ones.

I also think of how to select the appropriate learning objective with the appropriate webQuest.
ReplyDeleteHi Haggag,
ReplyDeleteI just came across your post. I co-designed a 3D Webquest with Bernie Dodge and Peggy Ward in early 2006 in Second Life. I'm currently re-investigating this!
If you or anyone you know is interested in pursuing this further, please DO contact me.

Hi Cathy,
ReplyDeleteWaooo...did you? this is amazing...I hope you can send me the link or the location to find this 3D attempt and I may pursue this to IT specialists in my University...providing feedback or implementing it in a different country...I am waiting your reply.
