For this course, each week I’d like you to complete a reflection using the 3-2-1 Reflection. This is the Discussion Rubric referred to in the podcast, but it’s NOT truly a rubric, it’s a reflection. Scroll down to an example of a rubric I use in other online courses.
3-2-1 Reflection
3 things you learned this week
2 new ideas you plan to implement as a result of this week’s learning
1 question you still have. If you have no questions, one thing that really hit home for you this week.
Submit this at the end of the week in ASSIGNMENTS under the Week X Reflection
Online Instructor Tip: The idea behind this is to hold students accountable to the week’s content, learning and discussion. This is an easy way to quickly check student learning and provide feedback. It gives the instructor a personal touch with each student every week of the course.
Now…this is a more full-blown reflection that I use with graduate students.
Discussion Standards
Using the following prompts as a guide, write a REFLECTION on your participation throughout the week on the course content and discussion.
• I responded at least once to the questions/issues raised through the weekly discussion prompts.
• I made a second response that raised an original question or issue stemming from the readings and/or assignments for the week.
• I posted at least two meaningful and constructive responses to other participants’ messages?
• I am providing at least one paragraph or more of an overview of postings I made…
• I made a connection between the readings and my classroom/school.
• I am providing at least one paragraph or more describing the connections I made…
• I logged in early in the week, by Wednesday, to participate in discussion.
Do you have any Muddiest Point questions or anything else you’d like to ask the instructor?
Please mark your score appropriately:
___All
standards met & exceeded by including color, extra graphics/images,
additional reflection (100%). This usually takes the form of a
notebook-type entry, presentation page, infographic, etc.
___All standards met (95%)
___One standard not met (85%)
___Two standards not met (75%)
___Three or more standards not met (65%)
Set the document margins to 1″ left and 1″ the rest of the way
Set the font to Times New Roman, size 12 font
If using section headings, make them all capital letters & centered
Double space all paragraphs, including the space BETWEEN paragraphs
No bolding in the paper at all
No name in your paper, only in the file name when it’s saved
I’d like you to submit your reflection each week in one of the following ways:
1.
A narrative journal entry. This would be written in Word and would
contain your reflection of the week’s important learning. Limit yourself
to 2-3 pages double spaced. You don’t need to include everything, just
the highlights of your learning, but be sure to clearly address the
points above.
2. A presentation such as Powerpoint or Prezi. Imagine being asked to present the week’s content to a group of teachers at a conference or in a professional learning community setting. Create a presentation of the content, including some of your reflection.
3. A video or audio podcast. Create a podcast with you as the host, highlighting your reflections of the week’s important content. You should include salient points and perhaps raise questions for your listeners. You will most likely need to post this on a website and point us to it.
If you plan to use the alternative assignment option…something other than a narrative…please be sure to review the Alternative Assignment Option file.
Submit the reflection to Assignments by Sunday, midnight each week.
Online Instructor Tip: Providing examples of work has it’s pros and cons. On one hand it models what you are looking for in assignment. On the other, it’s often used as THE only way to submit assignments. How you navigate this is up to you.
