Dear Readers,
We are already in week 7 and working on the tasks and the final project of our class Wiki to become a reality.
I started this week by choosing two of my classes to work on the project. One of this class is BS English 1st semester who have a fairly good level of English and they are enthusiastic about the new things they are exploring. They are 30 in number and I divided them into 6 groups. At least one of the members in each group has access to the internet.
The detail of the task assigned to them are available on the following link that I created for my web quest task:

I have amended some of the details in the task while assigning the writers to the respective groups for the final project that I intend to draft on the template recommended by Sean on the following link:

Its Wednesday and I have set off for the project. My project is long-term and the students need hours of ransacking the library though it is a very small one with not more than 6,000 books altogether. But they need extra time out of their scheduled classes to be able to look through the available books on literature for the topic assigned to them. The group leaders and the members with access to net at homes will collect a data of web-links related to their topic. By Monday, that will be the week 8 of the this virtual course, I will be able to view their progress.
In my second class, with large number of students, I am running a test for the project. I have chosen only the active workers and given them the same writers to assist with the BS class which is the main audience for my project. They are required to collect at least 10 links/books on the topic given to them by Monday. for them I have squeezed the project and shortened its length.
Lets see how the rest of the week unfolds and how successful I end with all the tasks and readings of this week.

Hi Yusra,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading what you have been doing with your project. Dealing with two classes must be much harder than it is with one, I guess. I also have started my project. Every student now has a reflective blog and started using the internet as the source of listening and then wrote their reflection about the listening materials they listened on their blogs. Now they are on the preparation for their short video project. They work in a group of three for this project.
By the way, would you like to be my peer review? I'll be happy to read your project paper.
Best,
Rina
