Blog post 11

In Back To the Future we can learn that with technology we can learn to think outside the box. Students learn from the experiments they do, they cover the standards and then the students write a blog about it. You get to share a classes experiences with other students around the world. Active learning invites students to be learners. Using technology can help incorporate students with health problems or other disabilities in the classroom.
Blended Learning Cycle is the combination of online, mobile, and classroom work. There are five components to the learning cycle; explore, explain, expand, engage, and evaluate. The first part to any learning cycle would be to start with a question that engages the students. The students ask a question and the investigate it. After they investigate they watch a video describing what they are doing, the elaborate on it, review it and then they take a quiz at the end to test their knowledge of what they just learned.
In the Sam Pane 4th Grade video we can learn how to teach the students the proper way to use the internet. We can teach them to be responsible and safe. They created a super digital citizen and placed them in a story. They built a narrative to help them understand how to be safe when using these resources.
With Project Based Learning it engages learners and it gives them a better understanding of what it is they are learning. It allows the students and teachers more time to do projects. It makes students responsible for their projects. It also teaches them skills that they don't normally learn in a regular classroom.
In the last video Roosevelt Elementary's PBL Program we learn that with project based learning the style is much different. It deals with real world problems and brings them into the classroom. Project based learning teaches real world problem solving skills such as learning to speak in public and learning to work with others. The students get to make their own choices. They learn to work by them self as well as working with others.

  1. You summarized each video clearly. Just one thing that I noticed is in the first sentence. You retyped "we can ." Just make sure you reread your post before publishing it. Other than that it was great!
