Potential Problems and Possible Solutions
Problem (?) Some students may not
have internet access at
home and may find it
difficult to go online for
wiki discussions.
Solution (@)Give students a
considerable period of
time (e.g. a week) to
participate in one
discussion topic. This is
asynchronous.
M.T.L. Manicio
Potential Problems and Possible Solutions
?How can I give direct
instruction on evaluating
information retrieved
from websites when we
don’t have computers in
the classroom?
@Arrange one or two
sessions in the computer
laboratory.
M.T.L. Manicio
Potential Problems and Possible Solutions
?How will students be
assessed individually
given that they gave
group outputs (news
magazine)?
@Prepare a checklist or a
rubric on collaboration.
Decide on a few but
relevant criteria (e.g.
sharing ideas, asking
questions, fulfilling assigned
tasks on time, etc.).
