As I start PBL I need
to keep in mind to not get overwhelmed in the process. As I student, PBL wasn’t
commonly used in my school. As I start my journey through PBL I will also be
learning. I will need to do my best and if I make mistakes during the process
fix them. I need to be well prepared on PBL approach and make sure I’m fully
aware on how this learning will benefit the students. I need to be ready for the change and
challenges that I will encounter when I start the PBL approach. I just need to
have a positive attitude and do the best that I can as I start PBL.
The overall benefit of
PBL is that students and teachers are engaging in real-world projects. Instead
of students sitting in class and listening to the teachers lecture, students
are participating and learning in a new way. PBL brings the real world into a classroom and
making learning more enjoyable for students.
Students will ultimately
benefit from project- based learning. The benefits for students who participate
in PBL are the projects form the centerpiece of the curriculum, students engage
in real-world activities and practice strategies, students collaborate to solve
problems that matter to them, technology is integrated as a tool. Lastly, teachers
collaborate to design and implement projects that cross geographic boundaries. In
the PBL approach the projects allow for students choice, sets the stage for
active learning and teamwork. I think that it is a great way for the students
to communicate with other students. It will prepare them for future teamwork
projects and also for future presentation. Students will be comfortable when it
comes to teamwork. Students will also become comfortable when it comes to
presenting to a group of people. PBL will better prepare students for real life
situations and get them better familiar with technology since it is a huge part
of our daily lives.
There are some issues
that need to be considered in the PBL approach. As the teachers we will need to
consider our learning goals, the way we talk and engage with our students, our
classroom management style, the physical arrangement of the classroom, how we
think about assessment, what we collect, how we communicate with parents and
colleagues. We need to be able to rethink our expectations for our students and
be able to interact with our students differently. We need to get use to change that occurs
during the learning process. We will need to be able to help students become
better at managing their own progress. As the teachers we will need to be able
to reconfigure the hardware, desks, computers, and other furnishings for
teamwork and collaboration. We will also need to reconsider on what the
important information is for learning. Lastly, we will need to be able to
explain why we are taking the 21st-century approach.
I think New Technology
High is a great idea because in the real world technology is a huge part of our
lives. This school is preparing students for the future, by having the students
learn to think critically, collaborate as part of a team, and use technology as
a tool for solving problems. The New Tech model makes computer accessible to
every student as tool. Here the teachers tell the students his or her plan and
then get feedback from the students. Overall, I think it’s a great idea and I’m
sure the number of New Tech will continue to increase.
