Concepts in this chapter relate to my teams project because
we have learned a lot while developing our project in this class. There are
several leaning functions that I developed as I worked on this project with my team
member. I was able to share ideas with my partner on how to create our project.
We also were able to collaborate on what was best to do for our project.
Lastly, we were able to research important information to include into our
project.
I agree with what you were saying about how it relates to your team project. This whole class was basically taught through a project so we go to learn a lot like students would, but also get the teachers perspective and things like collaboration and sharing of ideas.
ReplyDeleteKayleigh, as usual you have the by the book cookie cutter post... While my eyes almost fell out of its sockets reading this, with blood filled tears mind you, I do think you managed to scrape some quality point out of this. First of all I like, and totally agree, with the fact that your partner had a fantastic open door policy, which allowed you to share ideas without ridicule, and through our project there was deeper learning through the real life connections. I mostly agree that the learning functions that you developed were because of your team member and his thoughtful, and practically saintly, collaboration. Though I would like to comment more, I believe that humility and reservation are essential to making a great partner
ReplyDeleteHi Kayleigh,
ReplyDeleteI liked how you mentioned the various functions within Project Based Learning. Truthfully, I did not know that there was SO MUCH involved in PBL until I began this class. This chapter did a great job of really re-capping the strategies and ideas that we worked with all semester, and as you said, it is apparent that they were brought into our units to further impress upon us their relevance and importance.
Nice job!
