Reflection #11

           The classroom changes to bother the educator and learner as a result of using the project based learning approach.  From the textbook, one teacher who had been using the project based learning approach said it changed her approach to the classroom.  This approach made her look past the four walls of her classroom and extend them.  This approach also changed the ways the students viewed school.  They became more engaged in the content, they were really learning!  Also, the students seemed more grown up from the new approach, they began to understand the components of the project.
           When you have a  good turn out of a project, the teachers in which you have collaboratively worked with should be given your insight on the results, so they too can implement the project.  Also, you can share you ideas with other teachers, as as get ideas from networks online, where teachers all around the world can go to.  You can also start a library in your school or district, as another resource for teachers.  Turning your lessons and ideas into an archive on the web is another idea to get other teachers to know and use your projects.  This is what we are doing in this course, gathering everything we have created for this one project and putting it all onto a web page as a resource for other teachers who may want to use it.

  1. This was a really good reflection, you did a nice job wrapping up the book within this short reflection. I like how you related it with what we are doing in the classroom, putting everything into a showcase of ideas, such as the website so other teachers could use it for future classroom ideas.
