Reflection 11

Project-based learning has many benefits for the students and the teachers.  As a result of project-based learning, it will feel as though you and your students have been somewhere together.  The project will leave you with memories, souvenirs, and artifacts you have collected along the way.  The projects will open doors for new opportunities, including projects, discussions, and reflections.

To bring your project home, think about taking it outside of the classroom.  Give students a chance to show off their work and gain a better sense of pride.  Some ways to "bring it home" include sharing project ideas with colleagues, creating a project library, publishing projects to a website or printing company, or enter a contest.

I love this chapter because it has so many wonderful ideas for wrapping up the project.  I love the idea of having students create a library to look back at their work, and allowing colleagues to use this library for ideas.  I also like the idea of having students submit work to the media or contests.

  1. From experience, projects really do leave you with memories and artifacts that you collected through the journey. You learn so many new things that benefits you and will be with you for the rest of your life. It is really great that projects can go such a long way in the long run
