Week 10. Is it the end...?

Week 10. It means that Webskill Spring 2012 program is about to finish. Yes, the program is finished, but the spirit, efforts, ideas, skills, friendship among  participants and instructors must not be finished and over. Instead, we must develop and increase our spirit, efforts, ideas, skills, friendship for better future both professionally and personally.

I have learned so many things from this course and mostly they are new and inspiring. I have written in general what I learned and did during this course from week 1 to week 9 in my week 9 post on this blog.

What I learned much from this webskill course is the great opportunity to help both teacher and learners to improve their teaching and learning more efficient, motivating, and fun using technology and internet. Teacher can easily create student-centered based activities like Project-based Learning (PBL) using free tools such as Nicenet for discussion, Wiki to submit certain tasks, Webquest, and many more.

From this webskill I also get many interesting links to website that provide great information, exercises, materials, that I can develop as the source of teaching and learning that I save in my delicious http://www.delicious.com/hermanto/. I also learn how to assess students using rubric and I can make rubric with certain criteria we want using available template via rubistar. It much help.

Well, there are so many other things that are very interesting that I can't tell here. In short, I learned a lot of interesting and inspiring topics from this webskill class and I want to try to implement some of them in my next semester classes.
