Week 5 Reflection: Project- Based Learning (PBL) as the Central Point
PBL is the Best

The central point of this week is PROJECT-BASED LEARNING (PBL). The articles, webpages and some URL given in the course were found rotating around PBL.From the learning resources I am clear that PBL is a method of teaching which assigns the learners some tasks, brings learner’s autonomy,develop their creativity and critical thinking ability.Moreover, I came to know that webQuest is an on-line inquiry tool to expand the horizon of knowledge by developing learners' autonomy.

Secondly,what I got from this week is that rubrics /alternative assessments are other tools to evaluate students’ performance. They help students to be clear about what they are expected to do. Students can evaluate their performance with the help of rubrics.

More importantly, I am enlighten with   Donna's wiki that every week she  gives us tasks, project works and alternative assessment criteria .As usual, she gave us two main tasks such as creating rubrics and webQuest along with discussion-assessment and sharing changes for this week.In fact, she involved us in PBL. This project work taught me to create rubrics in webpage whenever it is needed.

Second wonderful but  daunting task for me was to create webQuest. I had to try many times and ultimately I created a webQuest. I dedicated most of the time to create them. These are the evidences to prove “The Best Learning Comes from Experience.”

From the experience, I am encouraged to create webQuest and use PBL instead of giving oneway lectures in my class. Beside these,I will share this knowledge with my colleagues and encourage them use PBL with rubrics and WebQuest. From today I try my best to  use PBL techniques.Let's wrap up this week announcing the slogan
 “wherever we teach , we Won't get PBL  missed.”
