Ways to build connections and branch out of the classroom can be done easily through technology. Students and teachers can communicate with other students and teachers across the world. People in local communities and across the world can have access to read and take part in PBL together. The EAST Initiative Model is Environmental and Spatial Technologies Initiatives. It has been developed to demonstrate the benefits of using technology for a real purpose to solve problems and make improvements in communities. Reasons to let students "lead" their projects is to give them a sense of responsibility of their own learning, engaging in real life problems, to collaborate with one another, and to access relevant technologies. These concepts can relate to the project because it will allow students to lead their own projects and work together to collaborate across the world.
I agree with the allowing students to lead their projects. This allows students to feel a sense of pride letting them have such responsibility with their entire project. I like that it gave them something to be passionate about and to let that be a factor in their work.
ReplyDeleteCassie,
ReplyDeleteI also agree with you because I feel that students should lead their projects at times. It allows them to take the reins and responsibility for their education, I also feel that technology can be used as a great tool to build and grow connections.
