This is not the end...

Hi, inno-teachers!

After finishing this Master's Degree Module is time to reflect on the knowledge that I have acquired. Hereafter I will share with you a picture that summarizes the three things that I have absolutely loved about this subject and one thing that, in my opinion, should be improved. 

A bit of humor...

Live online conference at #moodlemooc10

Hi inno-teachers!

Today I want to share with you a great experience we had last 4th of May. My classmates and I were invited to be presenters at MM10, an online worldwide event for teachers. MM10 (or Moodle Mooc 10) is a series of online conferences about different topics regarding education that are taking place from 1st of May until 4th of June 2017. The purpose of the MOOC is to connect teachers around the world in order to exchange knowledge, experiences and practicies with or without technology in the classroom.

Our class took place on Thursday May 4th at 16h at WizIQ and its title was Open Educational Digital Projects for CLIL Primary Education.

Since our teacher in this Master's module told us that we were going to participate in an online worldwide event, we started to work very hard. These are the steps we followed so as to prepare the conference:
  • To draft our speech.
  • To design a support slide.
  • 27th of April: day for the online rehearsal.
  • 4th of May: Online conference in MM10.
  • To reflect about the experience in our learning diary.

Designing a rubric for assessment

Hi inno-teachers!

And now is time to create a rubric for assessing our students! In this post I am going to present to you the rubric that I have designed in order to evaluate my students in my OEP: Namasté! Moreover, I will include some basic elements to take into account when designing a rubric such as the elements that it should contain or an interesting website to create it online.

Why is assessment important?

To assess means to ask students about their understanding of the subject matter. Assessment is an integral part of instruction because it determines if the goals of education have been met or not. There are different ways of assessing our students, but if we want to be good teachers, that critical moment in th teaching-learning process should contain some of the following characteristics:
  • It provides diagnostic feedback.
  • It helps educatiors set standards.
  • It evaluates progress.
  • It relates to a student's progress.
  • It motivates performance.
  • It allows teacher-self evaluation.

"Assessment is the engine which drives student learning". (John Cowan)
