Reflection chapter 11

Project-based projects help students make connections that they can use to build future projects. Using this approach you are able to share your project through many outlets. To me the idea of bringing the project home is finding a way to share their work, discussing it with their groups, building upon the project for future lessons. Enjoying the process and reflection are also important for student development. If a student can explain how much they have learned and experienced doing one project the next projects they do will have purpose. iEARN, Global, SchoolNet are some of the sites that students can use to share their project. Another way to bring the project home is to archive it on the web. This would include student’s artifacts, reflections, and past projects. This is a good idea and tool to use as a way to show future students examples of good projects. Project-based learning can help collaborative groups to use each other as a resource for future projects. It helps build student communication skills, and the ability to critique not only their work but their groups. For my topic the final project will be an after school health program. i think that during the program we will record everything through pictures/videos that can be put on my classroom blog. This will be an opportunity to celebrate the student’s hard work and it will help promote family involvement.
