Chapter 8


1.     There are many ways to build connections and branch out beyond the classroom. Digital tools make it easy for students to share their work and exchange ideas. Having family member, peers and local community members allows students to gain confidence. Digital-age projects also offer unlimited opportunities for branching out. Students can consult with experts and communicate with fellow learners.

2.     EAST Initiative Model demonstrates the benefits of using technology to solve problems and make improvements in communities. Students use geospatial technologies and multimedia tools.

3.     It is important to let students lead their own projects. Learning is endless; students can take on there own learning and become connected with their topic choice.

4.     In our class many of the projects we do students lead their own project. We are able to choose what we would like our topic to be. This allows us to be creative and connect with our topic choice.

  1. I like how you talked about having family members come into the classroom to allow students to gain confidence. I remember some of my peers family members coming into my class to read to us when I was younger and it's definitely something I am going to do as a teacher.
