Blog Post # 9


       What can teachers and students teach us about project based learning? Well in Tony Vincent  video, I learned that students are looking for projects that has them working for an extended amount of time and driving questions that has each student engaged. When you give assignments and projects to the students it helps them with communication skills, critical thinking and career life learning experience. Allow the students to take charge and try not to limit them to certain things. When reading Seven Essentials for Project Based Learning  it says that "Schoolwork is more meaningful when it's not done only for the teacher or the test. When students present their work to a real audience, they care more about its quality. ”this statement is true because if the students know that he/ she will be getting in front of an audience than they will try to do their best rather than doing the minimum for the teacher.  I also learned that students would like to be rewarded and recognized when they have done something good just like in the video  the students explained different ways their teacher rewarded them for doing something outstanding or for just being good for the day. As their teacher when you reward your students it tells them that you care about them and their work. Project based learning is a great way for students to learn. They are eager to work and to present. When using project based learning students are motivated to learn and can make choices and their voices are heard.

  1. "...in Tony Vincent video, I learned that students are looking for projects that has them working…" Vincent's, not Vincent; have, not has

    "I also learned that students would like to be rewarded and recognized when they have done something good just like in the video the students explained different ways their teacher rewarded them for doing something outstanding or for just being good for the day. " This should be broken into two or three sentences.

    Did you read/watch the other sources? If so, you must discuss them.
