Reflection 11, Chapter 11
1. Thinking beyond the set class time, thinking about and constructing their own reality, understanding of project management, big picture thinking, meeting deadlines, having a global audience, and being professional are all things that occur as a result of project based learning. If our students can leave our classroom with all of this being learned, we have done our job as a teacher. They will surely be a success in society.
2. Good projects should lead you to more projects. It should open new doors and create connections that you can build on in future projects. Make sure to reflect on the projects you are doing. This can tell you if any thing should be changed to make it better or what the next step in the project could be. Share your projects and insights with others so they can use the ideas or help you find extensions to yours. Best of all, enjoy what you have done. Enjoy the good aspects of the project with your students, and learn from the aspects that need to be changed. Have fun with what you are doing and let others have fun with you.
3. Reflection and sharing our project with others is what we will includein our project. Reflection being the most important so we can see how we could take the project to another level of learning and how to incorporate it into other subjects.

I agree and feel strongly about "if our students can leave our classroom with all of this being learned, we have done our job as a teacher". Knowing that our students learned something through a school year or through a project is great because our goal is teach students to become successful. We ask for nothing more than preparing our students for the future and anything small is so cherished.
ReplyDeleteI am also in agreement about both the number of objectives and goals that occur as a result of project-based learning but also about your statement that "If our students can leave our classroom with all of this being learned, we have done our job as a teacher. They will surely be a success in society." Project-based learning lessons are not only a tool for the classroom but they can be used a resource and a foundation for students as they enter the 'real-world.'
