Hello everybody,
I think "Online Discussion Groups" will suit my students as a technique to get them involved. The advantages of Online Discussion Groups are:
1. Students feel they have a community of their own
2. There is no face to face observation and this gives students enough freedom to get involved and be natural, creative, to share and care
3. the moderator can direct the discussion all the time to be on the desired track
4. this technique basically uses e-mails to send, receive and subscribe. so, it enhances the use of technology and multimedia and the skills required.
5. Files are allowed in different format
6. Having different intelligences, skills and learning styles, students can benefit from each other and help one another
7. Students can work at ease, at any time or anyplace
8. students can use an endless resources from the internet
9. An online discussion rubric can be used for evaluation or assessment
All the best
Ahmed Khattab

Dear Ahmed,
ReplyDeleteit is very useful to have your rationale for choosing this particular activity elaborated so clearly. You can also use the 1-9 as a checklist during and after the implementation. We all need it, in the same way in which rubrics are useful for students (and us, teachers).
By the way, I found your rubric useful for considering my own 'forum participation habits' on this Project.
I hope your students will embrace it. Please tell us how it goes!
Best regards,
Andreja
