I wanted to find a motivating way to assess my students on the use of Publisher. I wanted them to be motivated to do their best on this project. I think implementing the different technologies helps do this, but also knowing that other students will be seeing their work also helps.
I chose the learning objective that I chose because I wanted my student to use their higher level thinking skills. They needed to reflect on what they were creating and why they chose it. I decided to use blogs, wikis, and websites because those are the technological tools that are being used in college and the workplace. Students need to be prepared for the real world. The first time they use a blog, wiki, or website for educational purposes should not be in college or the workplace.
My expectation is for my students to take pride in their work. So often students throw things together at the last minute, and do not put much thought or effort into it. I hope that this assignment shows them that they should do their best no matter who will see the work.
I have not put enough emphasis on reflection, and that is something that I am in the process of changing right now. I need to give my students more challenging assignments that will benefit them in the long run.
