Description of the levels of classroom
discussions.
Teacher to teacher: When discussion
both teachers classrooms projects and planning the teachers can gain more
knowledge on things that they might have missed by themselves. This is a way to
share thoughts, ideas, and to gain different prospective.
Student to Teacher: Students should
talk to teacher and peers about their learning experiences during projects.
When students explain their thinking process it gives students the opportunity
to learn from each other.
Teacher to Student: Teacher would
circulate, observe, and talk to smaller groups of students at a time, rather
than the whole class at once.

Discussion on the questions for “checking in” on
students during a project.
The types of questions that need
to be asked by teachers to check in with students should be procedural,
teamwork, understanding, and self-assessment type questions.

Discussion on the benefits to students when
optimizing the use of technology.
When students optimize the use of
technology benefits could be substantial. The use of technology can open doors
to new and broader information for students that may not be available in a textbook.

Discussion on the 21st -century
skills that can make or break a project.
Troubleshooting is a 21st-century
skill. This is a real world challenge that may happen inside or outside of

Discussion on how concepts in this chapter
relate to your topic/project.
This chapter relates to my
topic/project directly. The use of technology in my topic/project is
substantial and involves a lot of 21st-century technological skills
for completion of the project.
Kasey, I like how you recognize all the main ideas. I especially like how you mention that most careers involve some kind of team work. That is so true that is why learning how to collaborate is so important, so young people can be future problem solvers or know how to troubleshoot problems. I also agree that technology can offer so much more than textbooks. One of my professors used to tell me that you are smart as the technology that you are able to access to find the answers to questions and problems. That is so vital for our future generations and the students we will be teaching. So you are right, having 21st-century technological skills is important for students to be able to compete in a world that is focusing more and more on technology. Nice Job!
