Reflection+week+of+Dec.+7

Wow! What a busy week. I have been trying to finish up my graduate class for this semester in addition to teaching and working on these grant obligations. And how can I forget Christmas...

This week's reading provided some insight into the creativity and processes involved in producing media. Many times students who do not do well with paper and pencil activities blossom with a creative outlet. Project based learning provides students will learning that is relevant to them and their futures. The reading provided great examples of schools who were incorporating project based learning and the kinds of avenues they were exploring.

I also learning more about inquiry-based learning which enables students to "pose questions, investigate, solve problems, and draw conclusions about the world around them." The portion that linked technology to inquiry based learning was especially good. Hopefully all of this information will help me to produce an informative and entertaining video.
