    I like the idea pf project-based learning. I feel that projects help to reinforce student learning. As a science teacher, this is especially true. I can only image that year around project-based learning would require a great deal of district and campus support to be successful. Nevertheless, I would like to learn more.

    I just took on the position of a 7th/8th grade math lab teacher and the person before me spent a lot of time using packets to teach the students material. I very quickly realized that this method only left the material in the students' mind for a day or two. So for the past week i've been trying to figure out exactly how to use methods of instruction like project-based learning. PLB is an amazing method that more teachers should be aware of, the only issue is that there seems to be a lot of planning up front for this to be a success. I've decided though, that if all that time of planning up front would help my students to KNOW mathematics, then it's worth it.

    Reading the article and being a 7th grade math teacher I have realized that their are alot of teaching stratgies that could work if we had more time to actually focus on mastery and understanding. Alot of teachers are placed on calenders on what has to be taught. With the Texas curriculum being so data driven it has become hard for us to really use those fun teaching stratigies.

"The concept of vertical teaming has opened communication between grade levels," she told Education World. "That, in turn, has improved student achievement."

    Wow! I did my Method's at this school and I thought it was phenomenal then, I can only imagine now. This may be an article that I take back into my school because we have a group of 4th graders who are missing skills. It is hard to get the students prepared for the 5th grade level when they are missing 2nd and 3rd grade skills. Today I was talking to a teacher about what the students are being taught in the 3rd grade and she did not know. I think that if the teachers are communicating with the other grade level they are more aware of what to expect the next school year. This may also promote colloboration with other grade levels so that many skills are not missing. I am sure this will benefit all teachers and make learning more effective. It is all about team work!

View Organizers What is Inquiry Based Learning? Inquiry based learning is mainly involving the learner and leading him to understand. Inquiry here implies on the possessing skills and attitude of yours, which allows you to ask questions about new resolutions and issues while you are gaining new information. Dictionary meaning of Inquiry is seeking knowledge , information, or truth through questioning. All the people carry on with this process throughout their life, even if you might find it not very much reflecting. For example, infants use inquiry to build their sense of the world, the babies turn towards voices, put things in their mouths, grasp things, and observe faces that come near. The inquiry process is mainly the gathering of data and information and applying them to senses like smelling, tasting, touching, hearing and seeing. Very sadly, our traditional ways of teaching discourage the process of inquiry. It makes the student get less prone to asking questions as they move through their grade levels, they are just expected to listen and repeat the expected answers. This is due to the lack of understanding of inquiry based learning. Inquiry based learning is not just asking questions, but it is a way of converting data and information into useful knowledge. A useful application of inquiry based learning involves many different factors, which are, a different level of questions, a focus for questions, a framework for questions, and a context for questions. Much mesmerizing information and facts are readily available, which needs an understanding of how to make sense out of it and turn it into useful knowledge. The teachers must be able to analyze that he or she does into only have to accumulate information and data but also have to generate it into useful knowledge, which can be easily done through inquiry based learning. Our country's success depending upon natural resources is the past; the future of our country's success now depends upon the workforce which works smarter. There are four essential elements on which inquiry based learning depends

    The article starts out by asking the question when professors send students papers to a database, are copyrights violated? This article discusses electronic tools being used to determine student plagiarism. Turnitin.com is a common electronic tool that professors and teachers provide for their students to turn in their papers. In the United States, 400 colleges use this website. Lawyers detect that this is an infringement on students copyright. The founder of turnitin.com apologized for violating student's rights and advised professors to advise students that copies of their papers will be checked and kept in the database for plagiarism. Then they discuss success stories of how professors and schools are not concerned with lawsuits.

    This professionally created, animated YouTube video combines visual, text-based, and auditory learning with technology and humor to create a lasting memory in the minds of today's students. I find these kind of tools very successful in the classroom, and I think further researching them is very important. Made by the educational resource company "Ignite! Learning."
  • Jessica Byrd on 24 Feb 12
     
    I think this video is a good technology tool to incorporate in U.S. History. Personally, history is one of my least favorite subjects because it is so boring! When learning about history there are so many historical figures and dates that it is almost impossible for students to remember all the material being presented. Therefore, as educators we must attempt to make learning enjoyable. Learning should consist of a variety of resources to enhance rentention of the information. I think this is definitely a video the students will remember!

    This article can benefit anyone who is an educator. We will all have students in our classroom with a disability and this article gives way to vary instruction and incorporate ways to make sure the student is learning the same as any other student. Reading IEPs thoroughly and knowing ways to modify curriculum for the student with disability is key.

The article emphasizes that a key part of developing an afterschool program is soliciting participation from many segments of the community.

    I like the idea of talking to people in the community and getting feedback about what would work. I bet parents and teachers are already planning in their minds what to say.
  • Joshua ROot on 24 Feb 12
     
    As a former after-school caregiver, I know a little something about these programs. And I completely agree with the article's take on the benefits that stem from them. The fact that kids have a safe, fun, place to spend these hours amongst their peers and young-adult mentors...which allows their parents to spend that time working for those necessary extra dollars... which in turn helps a home's and community's stability...which creates stronger schools...which is the whole purpose!!! I saw this happen at schools completely geographically, ethnically, and economically different from one another, but the result was always positive.
  • Carmen Solis on 24 Feb 12
     
    Just like Josh I also worked for as a after school mentor. I to have seen all the benefits that after school programs have not only on the schools, but the communities as well. The school that I worked at had many students whose parents got off work to late and couldnt afford to send their children to day care for only a couple of hours. But because of this program that the school provided many parents were able to be at ease in knowing that their child was not only in safe place but around people that truly cared for them. The students got to participate in so many activities and even were invited back during the summer for a summer program. With this summer program students got to do so many activities and go on field trips to place they wouldve never gone to. This program was a huge success for this community in general and for the students as well.

    I view (and use) this resource much like I do YouTube videos. It contains a massive store of diverse resources to use to explain or enhance lessons. I really utilize, and find success in capturing the kids' attention, the primary source resources history.com has--videos and pictures of old speeches and battles, original copies of documents. Doing so helps the kids relate the information, which may seem abstract to them, to actual, real-world things and occurrences!
