I have attended a webinar on march 22-2016 for Jay Mctighe the author of the book understanding by design that we use last semester, in his webinar ha talk about 3 main points:
1- Why use performance tasks?
2- Characteristics of performance tasks.
3-Designing authentic tasks.
He first gave a brief definition for performance task which is any learning activity or assessment that asks students to perform to demonstrate their knowledge skills and understanding. After that he starts with why use performance task, he mention many reasons, some of them are: focus on important outcomes of schooling, support meaningful and engaged learning, and effectively write in various genres for various audiences and purposes ( inform, explain, entertain, persuade, guide or challenge, change things).
Then he mention that every subject has along term goals, performance based and what student will be able to do and understand.
21st century skill are performance goals, critical thinking, problem solving, creativity, communication and collaboration.
some of the characteristics of rich performance tasks:
1- Call for the application and knowledge of skills.
2- Open ended and typically do not yield a single correct answer.
3- Establish novel and authentic contexts for performance.
4- Provide evidence of understanding and transfer.

It's important to be yourself.
when it come to being yourself, there can be a lot of pressure from the outside world as it tries to influence who you are. Living in a society that is constantly developing, its very important to be yourself from the inside out.when you deeply know yourself you set your own goals, you know the boundaries that you have set, you are more likely to experience a fulfilling and a rewarding life, and if not anyone can direct you to the wrong path.
You should be always yourself because you establish your own identity, when you are able to have a solid foundation of being you, you are establishing your own identity. No matter what happen in your life, you will have the ability to overcome any obstacle, also it make you build your courage and inner strength. When you are always yourself, you are more likely to have focus and direction in your life, no matter what you experience in life, the only person that will always remain constant is you.

Slide presentation software such as power point has become an ingrained part of instructional settings particularly in large classes and in classes that need more information exchange rather than skill development. Power point can be highly effective effective tool to aid learning, but if not used carefully may instead disengage students and actually hinder learning.
Potential benefits of using presentation includes, engaging multiple learning styles, increasing visual impacts,easy to present and maintain eye contact with large audience and easy to make it attractive and modify it. Although there are many potential to power point, there are many several issues that could create problems or disengagement, its teacher centered, lack of feedback because it tell you nothing about students learning if you didn't design them with opportunities to show feedback, in some cases theres no balance between using of images and text either its full of images or full of text which is also not good.
