Blog Post 9

     John Larmer and John R. Mergendoller is basically summarizing in seven steps what every good project needs. Step1 a need to know, tell the children what they will be learning more about. Step 2 a driving question, to get the students motivated. Step 3 student voice and choice, letting the students choose the project's topic. Step 4 21st century skills, helps students become more familiarized with everyday technology. Step 5 inquiry and innovation, finding out detailed information on their assigned project. Step 6 feedback and revision, lets them get involved with other students work and helps them review their mistakes. Step 7 a publicity presented product, helps them stay motivated knowing they have to present to an audience. How he went into each detailed step helps you become more familiar with the steps and helps you interact with the child. Doing hands-on projects are very interactive and helps get students motivated. 


       This YouTube video is explaining Project Based Learning. You learn communication skills, critical thinking skills, career and life skills. I agree with this video, project based learning is a way for students to communicate and stay interactive with the project because they stay moving and thinking.

"Project Based Learning in PE"
    This blog discussed several projects that would be fun and interesting. This blog is mostly about amazing projects that would benefit high school. The blog teaches us how high school benefits from this post by helping them stay active and fit. PBL is great for PE because it is mostly physically active.

     This site is great to find more sites for Project Based Learning. There is so much information on this page that can help you, especially involving 21st learning tools. Using technology is a great way to introduce PBL and helps give information to one place to another faster and receive feedback quicker.

       This is a wonderful site to see PBL in action and how it works. They did an amazing job but I do not see this project going no where money wise. But this is a great project to use as example of project based learning.

  1. You really broke down each of the sources very well. It is pretty interesting that Project-Based Learning can be used by so many different subject areas. PBL not only challenges the students academically, but also socially through the collaborative aspects.

    I do believe you need to make a grammatical correction in the last paragraph where it says, "going no where money wise."

    Overall great post!
