Week 5

Assessment Moderation
Today our task was to assess a fellow students' webquest, utilising criteria sheets and the rubric. Firstly, we needed to mark the webquest individually, once finished, go through assessment mark with our partner and a fellow group to go through the moderation process.
Greg encouraged us to make comments positive, as well as pointing out some weaknesses. Constructive criticism is welcomed and encouraged. However, don't OVER CRITICISE. I was suprised to find the task intimidating and eye-opening to first hand experience how differently our minds can interpret a set task to others.
Personally, this was a valuable experience in considering the diverse range of minds we will be teaching within our future classrooms and to promote and praise the uniqueness of each student. However, it also pushed the importance of clearly explaining the task if specific outcomes are desired.
