Reading Reflection #11

  1.       With the project-based learning approach, several things occur. First, memories are created and will always be there for the students who created and had fun with the project. Timeless artifacts are made that the students can be proud of and that will stand as examples for years of students to come. Finally, reflection and new and better ideas can help shape the project for the future to be the best it can be.

  2.       There are several ways you can “bring your project home.” First, you can share your project idea with an existing network, where teachers from around the world can tune into your project. Or you could create a project library. Some teachers archive their work on the web. Others publish their work and reflection on what made the project so successful. Still others use their work for professional development opportunities with other educators.

  3.       There will be many results of our school brochure project. Students will have created memories about learning about their schools and how they can use technology to create a brochure. They will also have the brochure as an artifact to showcase their work and to help them be proud of it. One way we could share our project would be to place each groups’ brochure in a web archive so other teachers could look at the project idea and gain insight into how they might incorporate their own ideas into a similar project theme.
