My Web Project

Hi everyone

I have a problem with my HP project, so in the meantime, if you haven't visited my WebQuest, please take this opportunity to do so:
http://www.student.qut.edu.au/n0247529/webquest/1index.html

I would love your feedback. As I understand, most of you did not use the Masher to build HP unit but just made the site like a Web Quest. I have used the Masher but even though I registered, it still only allowed the index page to list 3 of the activities. I am going to sort this out but for now you can still see all of the links from the home page or just by clicking on the next arrow.

Congratulations if you have finished your MEd. Good luck with your future teaching careers.

Hi Karen

I can't read your project. I tried the link on you blog or wiki page, both of them can't open. Please try again or check the link! Actually, I tried the Masher but it accepted only 3 activities to put together, that's why I gave up. If you can work out this problem and please let me know.
Maybe I'll try again later!
Thanks!

HI Karen
I used the URL you sent me via e-mail to access to your website. I have tried the activities and have some comments that I hope that can hep:

First of all I like your website, in that it involves a variety of activities and intended to teach students about different language skills e.g listening and reading.I really like the gap-filling task where students have to listen and fill in the missing words. The topic of this website is interesting. You also designed the website in a very simple and clear way. However in my opinion I would suggest the following:
- I found a problem with the link you gave for your website in your blog though I used the URL you send via e-mail and I was able to access to your project.
-On the left hand of your website some suggested links to some sites but only two are accessible, others have no links.
-You build up your activities via the Masher, however only three activities are there in the index.
- I would rather ask students to reflect on their learning and assess themselves through writing some sentences rather than numerical rating scales.
- I could not figure out the aim of the slide shaw and video biographies, i.e would be better give some instructions that can help or a title.
- I want to ask you of what the aim of the list of words you gave in the filling gap activity, Could you add something to the instruction to make it clear for the users or the intended students( an instruction will help to know the aim).
-For the multiple choice task which ask students to choose numbers, I would rather give students distract ors involves dates e.g the year or the month, otherwise get students to read and reorder these pictures through drag and drop.
-For the mix up activities I would prefer drag and drop due to the feel that students play with like playing cards.

Overall, the above suggestion are just my opinion, I do not know what you think about. Overall, a good product. Well done!

Note: can you please post the comments you send via e-mail to my blog.

Cheers
