      As educators what are we looking for? This question is something I reflect on daily as an educator. Through this article you can reflect on what you are pursuing in the classroom and the guidance you need to provide the 21st Century learners.
  • In this blog post, Larmer explores different teaching strategies and differentiates between two PBLs -- project-based learning and problem-based learning, which he describes as two sides of the same coin to engage and teach students.

    There are many different approaches of learning -- everything from case-based learning to zombie-based learning, according to John Larmer, editor-in-chief at the Buck Institute for Education. In this blog post, Larmer explores different teaching strategies and differentiates between two PBLs -- project-based learning and problem-based learning, which he describes as two sides of the same coin to engage and teach students.

  • the two PBLs
  • By using problem-BL, these teachers feel they can design single-subject math projects -- aka "problems" -- that effectively teach more math content by being more limited in scope than many typical project-BL units. Tackling a "problem," for example, may not involve as much independent student inquiry, nor the creation of a complex product for presentation to a public audience.
  • We decided to call problem-based learning a subset of project-based learning -- that is, one of the ways a teacher could frame a project is "to solve a problem."

  • Access to the Internet connects kids to all kinds of information — and for low-income students especially, that access has the power to change their social structure by allowing them to become empowered and engaged, said Michael Mills,
  • The Internet is about empowerment. If we take away this access because we think certain people aren’t going to use it right, we’re no better than governments who take away voting rights from minorities.”
  • ow-income students’ test scores increased by 30 percent after they were given smartphones to access more information and instruction and to collaborate with their peers.

  • the simple act of students using their coveted devices for study purposes makes learning more acceptable to them and to their peers.
  • it’s becoming more socially acceptable to talk about school stuff outside school because of that device. When they text or tweet about it, somehow it crosses the boundary of becoming okay. It’s not exactly cool yet, but all of a sudden it’s becoming okay.”
  • or those who don’t feel comfortable giving students their phone numbers, Mills suggests using a Google voice account, which students can call and leave messages.
  • f they have enough funds, Mills said schools should invest in a 1-1 program — a device for every student.
  • 2.   GIVE STUDENTS PROMPTS
  • guidance on how to use those devices for learning
  • 3.   PROVIDE INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES. “We need to think about what we are teaching
  • “This is not technology — this is Pedagogy 101
  • 4.   MAKE YOURSELF AVAILABLE.
  • 1.   GIVE STUDENTS ACCESS.
  • 5.   INVITE OBSERVERS TO YOUR MOBILE ENHANCED CLASS.
  • Parents, other teachers, and administrato
  • 6.   INVENTORY THE DEVICES.
  • Keep track of who owns what kind of device
  • This way, you can create flexible, shifting groups to make sure there’s a good variety of devices in every group.
  • 7.   USE DISCRETION.
  • Be careful not to publicly call out kids who don’t have a device when organizing groups.
  • 8.   USE EVERYTHING YOU HAVE.
  • different ways of understanding.
  • 10.   TEACH PROCESS NOT CONTENT.
  • If they don’t want to write a blog, but want to create a video, be open to it.
  • 11.   VALUE COLLABORATION. Promote group work and project based learning.
