The Difference Between Doing Projects Versus Learning Through Projects - 1 views

  • Projects are generally teacher-directed, universal, and tangent to the learning, while project-based learning is student-centered, personal, and the learning pathway itself. Put simply, it is an approach to learning rather than something to complete. Paul Curtis recently shared this excellent visual on twitter that takes a different approach to clarifying the difference, looking at it from the perspective of curriculum planning and instructional design.

The Daring Librarian: Classrom Cribs! Brain Friendly Learning Spaces - 0 views

  • Remember MTV Cribs? We thought, what if that same concept of Cribs...met the classroom! From August 14th to September 14th we’ll be running a challenge that anyone can join. Here’s the details: 1. Rethink your learning space with the student in mind. What changes will enhance the learning experience? 2. Redesign your learning space and show us how you did it: Take pictures and video. 3. Create a 3-min "Cribs" video showing off your new learning space. Include a 250 word (or less) rationale for “why” you made the changes. 4. Submit your video, rationale, and bio to have a chance to be featured on our site and win great prizes!

Is It Project-Based Learning, Maker Education or Just Projects? - 1 views

  •  
    Zak Malamed of StuVoice.Org mentioned in a student voice panel that when given projects by teachers to complete, it was often just another "thing" to get done, just like a paper or worksheet. I have seen lessons shared by teachers that they called Project-Based Learning, Inquiry Learning, or Maker Education, but upon close examination they...

How I Don't Teach | Katie Regan - 4 views

  •  
    "Seriously, I don't. I don't teach at all in the traditional sense of the word. For this class, I am not the teacher up in front of the room making notes and expecting the students to copy them. My students learn what they need to learn to accomplish the task that has been set for them. I provide guidance to individuals, small groups, and the whole group when needed. I make available the necessary resources or access to those resources they need to accomplish their own learning. I give them guidelines and objectives but very little direct instruction."

    "By design, PBL is learner-centered. Students don't simply choose between two highly academic projects to complete by a given date, but instead use the teacher's experience to design and iterate products and projects-products and projects that often address issues or challenges that are important to them."

What's Your Learning Disposition? How to Foster Students' Mindsets | MindShift - 0 views

  •  
    "Influencing how students view themselves as learners is challenging work. Students often won't respond if a teacher just tells them how they should think - that creates defensiveness. Instead, a good tactic is to teach them some of the neuroscience around learning, including that the brain is malleable."

VS | Ergonomic school furniture - 0 views

    • anonymous
       
      Mrs. Miller's Kindergarten class got a class set of this company's Hokki stools through a Mariemont Foundation grant. I know this is a commercial school furniture site, but as I read through their design philosophy, I'm really impressed by how learner-centered they are and how the furniture is designed for the kind of learning we're dreaming of. I'm definitely using them for inspiration for the Library Makerspace grant I'm writing.

    "We can only teach children core competencies for the 21st century in schools and with teaching methods that are actually designed to achieve the outcomes we need now and in the future. Learning and the learning environment are thus closely connected: It is imperative to create spaces that allow pupils every possible opportunity for self-development."
