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 3rd 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.
I like your comment about letting the students learn technology instead of teaching them. However, some students need that step-by-step guidance. Technology can be fun, but also dangerous. Be sure to read over your blogs out loud to recheck for grammatical errors! Have a good semester!

ReplyDeleteVery organized blog post. I thought that Mr. Capps's message was saying that we should go a different direction with projects. Instead of giving projects as assessments we need to give them so students will problem solve to find the answers. Good post Arneetia!
