What I learned from these conversations between Dr. Strange and Anthony Capps is that project based learning is a good way to have students interact and be involved in real world problems. It keeps students interested with things that are relevant to their lives and keeps them involved in their community. PBL is a different type of learning strategy that helps students have a better understanding of concepts, improves their communication and social skills, increases creativity, and also improves writing skills.
Another program that Dr. Strange and Anthony Capps talks about is iCurio. iCurio is an online tool that allows students to safely search websites that have been filtered for educational uses. It is directed more towards students and has a storage capacity so that they can stay organized with all of the audio, text and video that they search.

Hi Kiyana!
ReplyDeleteI learned the same thing that you did from the conversations that took place in these videos. We do need to have our students see what's out there for them to learn! As teachers, we supply the knowledge they need to carry out their assignments and them going beyond our realm of what we've taught is a great sign that we're successfully integrating Project Based Learning! Great post!
Good post. Could be a little more detailed on the individual videos.
