RR #11

1) Upon completion of project based learning, there are many positive results that occur. One of the biggest results it that PBL sets up you class for future learning. At the conclusion of the project, the students will use the previous project to springboard right into the next. Another positive result of the PBL project is that the children are left with a variety of experience and knowledge that they gained throughout their journey.

2) Bringing the project home mainly involves deep reflection for the kids after the project is completed. This reflection can be done in several ways. Most of the reflection involves the children being able to discuss the positive and negatives that they went through during the project. Once they start this discussion with their peers, they can also move onto teachers and family members. This type of reflection really allows the students to remember what they learned and apply it to their future endeavors.

3) This applies to my project because this is what we hope to accomplish when our project is finished. We want our children to have a good basic knowledge of different cultures, food within those cultures, and kitchen safety.

1. Through project based learning students will be able to participate in many different activities. Also in large group projects. Students do have homework, but PBL allows students to have real world experiences while remaining in the classroom. Students can learn to work together and how to make a difference in their community.
2. "Bringing the project home" has a lot to do with reflection. It helps students to go back and look at the work that they have done and see what they could have done better, or what they did really well.
3. When we "come to the end" of our project time here we need to reflect on what we have done. We can look at the progress we have made in our time with technology. Having the blog helps us to see how far we have come and what we could have changed.
