- Description of some ways to build connections and branch out beyond the classroom.
Using
technology integration your classroom can connect with people all around the
world, including just around the neighborhood, and get feedback, ideas, and
solutions to projects and problems. Talking with experts is another outlet to
branch out. Experts can give you answers to questions that some books may not
have and it also gives students an idea of “why do I need to know this?”
- Description of the EAST Initiative Model.
EAST
stands for Environmental and Spatial Technologies. These schools demonstrate
the benefits of using technology in the real world problems. “EAST students
master these sophisticated tools and applications in context while solving
community problems that interest them.”
- Discussion on some reasons to let students “lead” their projects.
When a student
gets to lead their projects it turns into some exciting for them. They can, in
their own way, explore the world around them and get to have free range over
whatever they like. You never know what a student may come up with. One of my
favorite parts of the chapter is when they talk about the students preserving a
language. “Only a handful of Native speakers remain who are fluent in
Lushtosheed. Students here have created talking books, interactive games, and
other Web-based resources that preserve the language and celebrate the
literature and culture of the Tulalip tribe.”
- Discussion on how concepts in this chapter relate to your topic/project.
With our
blogs, we are connecting with the outside world. They are getting information
that they may not have known about and could help out other teachers in a
classroom.
