reflection 11

     After learning about Project Based Learning, both teachers and students will be learning in a new way.  Project-based learning is about the students and how can you as a teacher improve their learning experience plus your teaching experience.  Also be aware that it will be a big change in the way you teach and you will be in a way learning alone with your students.  The more you practice this teaching style the easier you will be able to incorporate Project-based learning into everyday teaching and it will be worth it. 

     Through project based learning students have the opportunity to control they're own learning rather than just reading out of a textbook everyday.  Students would also be more prepared for the work force especially since many of the jobs that are in high demand have something to do with technology.  When students engage in real world projects their experiences totally change.  Projects become the center point of the curriculum rather than just something extra or something to do when the teacher has run our of things to teach.  With Project Based Learning allows students to learn how to do things by doing not just reading.  

     Good projects don't lead to a dead end.  Instead they open new doors and create connections that you can build into future designs.  You can bring your project home by capitalizing on your investment.  You also want to critique your work, and share your insights, become a resource for your colleagues, enter a contest, and enjoy the journey.  

     This chapter relates to our topic because now that we are almost done with our class we have to continue with project based learning.  We have to "Bring our project home."
