Extractions: Introduction How often have you attempted to grade your students' work only to find that the assessment criteria were vague and the performance behavior was overly subjective? Would you be able to justify the assessment or grade if you had to defend it? The Rubric is an authentic assessment tool which is particularly useful in assessing criteria which are complex and subjective. Authentic assessment is geared toward assessment methods which correspond as closely as possible to real world experience. It was originally developed in the arts and apprenticeship systems, where assessment has always been based on performance. The instructor observes the student in the process of working on something real, provides feedback, monitors the student's use of the feedback, and adjusts instruction and evaluation accordingly. Authentic assessment takes this principle of evaluating real work into all areas of the curriculum. The rubric is one authentic assessment tool which is designed to simulate real life activity where students are engaged in solving real-life problems. It is a formative type of assessment because it becomes an ongoing part of the whole teaching and learning process. Students themselves are involved in the assessment process through both peer and self-assessment. As students become familiar with rubrics, they can assist in the rubric design process. This involvement empowers the students and as a result, their learning becomes more focused and self-directed.

The most common rationale for this movement is to provide students passive access to valuable information. Traditionally, most schools have used libraries as a main source of access and still do. More recently, schools have discovered the Internet as a source which obviously breaks away from traditionalism. The question remains: Does digital/electronic access to information make a difference in fostering higher order thinking?

Extractions: 24 November 1996 Rapid developments in the use of electronic technology in the classroom at the end of the 20th century herald a fundamental shift in our approach to teaching about Africa in the 21st century. The California State University system, like many others in North America, is focusing both money and attention on the use of electronic technology in the classroom. A major motivation for this is that it is seen as a way to cope with the impending "tidal wave" of new students demanding access to higher education in the early part of the 21st century. Intrigued by the rhetoric, and in need of both money and attention, I decided to see if I could catch this wave for my own course on Africa. So with much enthusiasm but little knowledge of computers or the internet, I set out to design a "virtual" course on Africa, one that would meet only in cyberspace. It would thus be available to anyone, any time, any place. How was it constructed? What was it like? Was it worth doing? The central feature of the course was a virtual office or home page for the course. I spent a lot of time on this, and in retrospect, I really wonder if it was worth it. I wanted a picture of a real office, with a map of Africa on the wall, some African art work, a computer, newspapers, etc. The computer screen, if you click on it, is a link to the
Working The Web For Education: WebQuests 101 In 1995, I had the pleasure of teamteaching with professor Bernie Dodge. By now many educators have caught some of the buzz about WebQuests. http://www.infotoday.com/MMSchools/oct00/march.htm
Extractions: In 1995, I had the pleasure of team-teaching with professor Bernie Dodge. During that semester, Web access came to the computer labs at San Diego State University (SDSU) so Bernie began experimenting with creative ways to integrate the Web with other successful learning strategies. By posting one elegant activity for pre-service teachers and a support page describing the rationale behind the structure, he launched the WebQuest, arguably the most popular approach for integrating the Web in classroom learning. At that point I also joined SDSUs Ed Tech staff on a 3-year fellowship and enjoyed working closely with Bernie as we added to and refined the strategy. My particular flavor of WebQuest is based on experiences as a member of a project-based interdisciplinary teaching team, technology-using high school teacher, and developer of online activities. The main features Ive tweaked within the original format are the addition of an essential question, a phase for acquiring background knowledge, the use of roles, and a real-world feedback loop. The following article begins to explore the subtleties of identifying, creating, and using WebQuests. Perhaps it goes without saying that these opinions highlight my perspective on the subject, not the one truth.

Learners focus on an achievable task that uses predefined Web resources as a basis for research.

Chapter: 5: KEWL Resources Introducing webquest PBL has a distinct process which has to be followed in order to solve the problem and produce the desired learning outcomes. One of the simplest methods to generate problem based learning in the context of an online course is to use a WebQuest. A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented activity in which most or all of the information used by learners is drawn from the Web. WebQuests are designed to use learners' time well, to focus on using information rather than looking for it, and to support learners' thinking at the levels of analysis, synthesis and evaluation. The model was developed in early 1995 at San Diego State University by Bernie Dodge with Tom March, and was outlined then in Some Thoughts About WebQuests.

STUDENT RESOURCES Some personal notes about this web page: It is designed as a resource for teachers K-12 who wish to find quality ready-made units and lessons for all subjects, or who wish to develop their own units. This page emphasizes engaged learning models such as WebQuests, Research Modules and Project-Based Learning, but links include other forms of lessons and tutorials. Included also are sites to help you build your own units as well as some examples of sources to help students do research. Some of these units depend on the ability of students to do interactive work with others using technology. However, even if you have one or no computer in your classroom, most of the units linked at this site can be of much help. They are great learning experiences not only because of technology, but because they also involve students in activities that challenge them to solve problems by doing quality research, analyzing information, synthesizing possibilities, making judgments and then creating interesting products in order to communicate their results. Technology can be used as tools in making these exciting learning experiences even deeper, richer and more motivating.

Rather than simply asking pupils to research a word or topic and trawling through a mountain of mostly irrelevant sites; or directing pupils to a single, useful site, the WebQuest provides directed learning using a number of sites as sources of information. There are hundreds of ready made webquests online made by teachers all over the world, for almost every subject and ready for use by teachers everywhere.
