PBL part one

In the video Anthony Capps says that teachers need to create a project that meets all requirements, that was taught in the previous lesson to make sure the students have learned. He also says PBL helps the children NEED to know about the lesson to perform on the project: Ex- Capps  3^rd grade class wrote letter to Congressman Bonner, each student was excited because they knew family and friends in the military and that made it easier to write their paper.  Capps also said that every project planned will not go well so as an educator you must have more than one project for the students.

ICurio

ICurrio is an online tool that allows students to safely search the web that has been pulled and filtered for education purposes. It allows the children to stay organized and create folders so he/she will not lose their websites. Also is has a timeline/directory and it helps the students search by criteria.

Discovery education is a visual aid that helps the children learn each subject better especially science. It helps bring text to life, retain information by seeing the items and hearing about them. Most students pay attention to seeing things than reading and writing.

Tips for Teaching

Tips for teachers:  Being interested in learning, hard but fun,  learn most things outside the classroom, flexible and creative.

Technology-Do not teach technology, technology is for students to learn. Let each day/ week with the students using the technology and let them learn it on their own. Once you the teacher feel that the students know the material than give them a project seeing if they know how to use the proper things to complete the project.

When creating a lesson plan make sure you can cover all the necessary material. Stretch it out as a unit which is 6-8 weeks. Thinks about it as a year, week and daily plan, daily plan is different. The daily plan needs to have the students’ attention. After you have completed the daily lesson test the m to see if they are ready to go on to the next day.

Blog Post 4 Asking Questions: What questions do we ask? How do we ask?

When asking questions in the classroom it is always good to get your students involved with the questions. Yes/ no answer will never help them learn. Teachers need to ask discussion questions so that all of the children can participate. Try to get the children involved so that he/she wont feel obligated to answer a yes/no instead they can speak on the topic about how they feel about it.

 

 

 

 

 

As I was reading The Right Way to Ask Question in the Classroom, I noticed that leading questions should never be asked and should be avoided as best as possible. These questions should be avoided because some of the students think that it is only one answer, which it can be more than one. When asking questions in the classroom make sure the students can respond to them, asking question that the students can not answer is not helpful to the students. As educators you must take time in thinking about the questions you are asking the students and make sure that the students are able to answer them.
