1. Description of what occurs as a result of using the Project-based learning approach
- Students who use the project-based learning approach learn to effectively collaborate with peers to meet a goal, learn to communicate with peers and mentors, and learn to work through authentic ideas and problems with the incorporation of technology. Teachers who use the project-based learning approach develop a deeper relationship with the students as they work to solve authentic issues and problems and through reflection.
2. Discussion on ways to “bring your project home”
- There are a number of different ways to “bring a project home” or share projects after they are finished with the community. One way is by sharing the project with an already existing network, such as iEARN or Global SchoolNet. Another way could be by creating a library or display the projects in the school library. Another way could be by publishing the project.
3. Discussion on how concepts in this chapter relate to your topic/project
- The students completing our project will be sharing their completed project, a workout video, with their family and friends during a “movie night”. This is another example of “bringing a project home” and giving the students the opportunity to share all their hard work throughout the unit.
I like how you said the benefits for the students and teachers of PBL for question 1. The benefits are not exclusively for just students or teachers.
