Week 7

Hi everyone,

The most impressive thing of this week is Padlet.
I have never used Padlet.
The advantage of Padlet is that students can share information outside of the classrooms. Moreover, it is very easy to use.

When I plan discussions in my classes, I always spend time for sharing information before discussions. By using Padlet, students can share information before the classes and they can spend more time for discussion and activities in the classroom.

I will surely use Padlet in my future classes.

I enjoyed this week discussion of learners’ autonomy.
hat is something I always keep in mind when I practice my teaching.
Satsita suggests to give rubrics to students in order to do peer evaluation
Rubrics enables students to have objective eyes to implement peer evaluation.
I also think peer evaluation develops autonomy of learners.
I would like to take her advice when I implement peer observation in my future classes.

Next week, we will exchange the final reports, and will exchange the checklists. I think that is a good practice of peer evaluation. I have never experienced peer evaluation when I was a student.

Begoña's post and Donna’s post of learners’ autonomy made me think the importance of giving students choices of their learning. When I give choices of tasks, students motivate and learn more. I think it is very good idea to involve students in the decision making process of their learning.
