]]> 2017-09-05 08:45:01 UTC https://padlet.com/seprofesora/1cfpbdk4lc/wish/184664773 If I understood the crowd source grading correctly, the teacher let's the students grade their own work by how much they put into it. What measures could you use to still ensure that quality learning is going on? https://padlet.com/seprofesora/1cfpbdk4lc/wish/188188587 -Emily]]> 2017-09-17 02:48:44 UTC https://padlet.com/seprofesora/1cfpbdk4lc/wish/188188587 The opening video was very interesting. What authentic situations could we have our students do to put their language to use and on display? https://padlet.com/seprofesora/1cfpbdk4lc/wish/188188659 -Emily]]> 2017-09-17 02:51:24 UTC https://padlet.com/seprofesora/1cfpbdk4lc/wish/188188659 The idea of PBL sounds great for more hands on. I am just not sure how that works in a language setting where the teacher is the main source of comprehensible input. https://padlet.com/seprofesora/1cfpbdk4lc/wish/188296266 Jorge Vasquez]]> 2017-09-18 01:24:40 UTC https://padlet.com/seprofesora/1cfpbdk4lc/wish/188296266 I liked the idea of people focused on learning not on grades, but very little was talked about how they dealt with the current system. They have to show some sort of progress on a progress report card, GPA, etc. https://padlet.com/seprofesora/1cfpbdk4lc/wish/188296426 Jorge Vasquez]]> 2017-09-18 01:25:55 UTC https://padlet.com/seprofesora/1cfpbdk4lc/wish/188296426 Where's our focus? https://padlet.com/seprofesora/1cfpbdk4lc/wish/188692323 Much of this information is presented as student-centered, which is great.  PBL is the direction I want to be headed as a teacher.  However, many teachers are still trying to find the "easiest way to grade" for the most aligned assessment.  The questions I ask are: What is keeping teachers from wanting to spend an appropriate time grading? Where is the boundary between peer/teacher feedback and the acquisition of a standard?  Can teachers trust child or adolescent classmates as a whole to evaluate peer work "satisfactorily"? Do As, Bs, and Cs communicate to the students what they were able to accomplish? What would communicate this?

Would it be something like completing a successful interview with a native speaker at the end of the semester? stephv57 https://padlet.com/seprofesora/1cfpbdk4lc/wish/189087558 -Stephanie]]> 2017-09-19 20:02:33 UTC https://padlet.com/seprofesora/1cfpbdk4lc/wish/189087558 Also, evaluating PBL could be very subjective. How do we deal with that? I love all these ideas, I just feel that more concrete examples would be great. stephv57 https://padlet.com/seprofesora/1cfpbdk4lc/wish/189087897 -Stephanie]]> 2017-09-19 20:03:53 UTC https://padlet.com/seprofesora/1cfpbdk4lc/wish/189087897 Is it the central purpose of education to produce workers fit for the current economy, or to produce educated citizens capable of running a democracy? Can we integrate these goals? If so, how? https://padlet.com/seprofesora/1cfpbdk4lc/wish/189122868 Laura]]> 2017-09-19 23:08:17 UTC https://padlet.com/seprofesora/1cfpbdk4lc/wish/189122868 I am worried about the control that the private sector is gaining of the public education system, but I see the benefits of partnership. How can we maintain the integrity of public education while partnering with private companies? https://padlet.com/seprofesora/1cfpbdk4lc/wish/189123007 2017-09-19 23:09:45 UTC https://padlet.com/seprofesora/1cfpbdk4lc/wish/189123007
