Reading Reflection #11
1. Description of
what occurs as a result of using the Project-based learning approach.
Students and teachers alike, learn to incorporate relevant technology
with the learning process. Students are
learning and thinking on their own, instead of being spoon fed every single
piece of information by instructors.
2. Discussion on ways
to “bring your project home”.
Student reflections and discussions with colleges provide the
feedback needed to properly asses the success of a project. These assessments can then influence improvements
to future projects.
3. Discussion on how concepts in this chapter relate to your
topic/project.
I think that it’s a great idea that once our project is
finished, we should put all of the information into a Web achieve. This makes the information easily accessible
for future use and easy to edit as improvements are thought of.

Reflection #11
1. Description of what occurs as a result of using the project based learning approach:
As a result of project based learning, students learn more than just what the project was all about. Project based learning leads you to build off of what you did and shape it into your next learning experience. Reflection on what you learned from your project based learning is a good way to show students their experience paid off. PBL also allows you to connect with your colleagues and peers after completing your project.
2. Discussion on ways to bring your project home:
Some ways to bring your project home include sharing your project ideas with networks, creating a project library, turning your project into an archive on the Web, or publishing your project. These are all great ways to get your ideas and project out there for everyone else to see. Becoming a resource for your colleagues can be a great benefit to both you and your colleagues.
3. Discussion on how concepts in this chapter relate to your topic:
This chapter relates to our group because it is all starting to come together. We have noticed that all our hard work is starting to pay off and come together in our website. We look forward to sharing what we have done throughout the semester in PBL in a couple weeks.

Reflection #10
1. Discussion on the importance of setting aside time for reflection:
It is important that students set aside time to reflect on their own work because it gives them a sense of how others see their work. When students create their own meaning it is important that they look at it from a distance so that they can see their work from different sides and work beyond that to push themselves further. This also allows for deeper thinking.
2. Discussion on the reason students need to reflect and elaborate:
It is important for students to reflect because it gives them a chance to think about how their own creativity came into play and where the areas are they can improve in. It is important to elaborate because it gets them wondering whats next? what do you want to learn now? and how do you want to go about it? These are all great questions for students to reflect on because it engages think in higher order thinking and allows them to fix their own mistakes.
3. Discussion on how schools build tradition and identity:
One way schools build tradition is through students work. Once parents and members of the community see what students are up to at the school it builds a sense of identity and continues to build year by year. Once they have established a tradition, students will feel its a privilege to honor the tradition with their hard work.
4. Discussion on the importance of celebrating a project:
Celebrating a project allows for the community to see what your students are up to and helps build your schools identity. Classroom displays and exhibits are a great way to portray your students work and get it out in the community where your school is seen.
5. Discussion of how this chapter relates to your project:
This chapter relates to our topic because we are going to be putting on a fundraiser for our vegetables. This will allow our students to build an identity with the community and show off their hard work.
