During the starting process of introducing PBL, Project Based Learning, into my future classroom, I would keep in mind that to prepare my lessons plans extensively and stay as organized as possible. Collaboration with other teachers who are also interested in bring PBL, can help build a strong network for PBL educators. I found that PBL's has a variety of benefits of students and teachers. For instance, PBL approach is centered around students. Because of its student-centered, student tend to find greater understanding in what they're learning; In return, students are able to appreciate PBL and are usually satisfied with what they're learning in the classroom. As a result students will carry what they've learn from PBL for the rest of their lives. In terms of teachers, students who enjoy learning in the classroom never want to miss class! This means class attendance would improve, and students will go out of their way to spend more time studying the learning materials. There were some down falls to PBL. PBL doesn't reinforce the prior knowledge student gained in their earlier educational years. For teachers it could become a challenge to bring PBL into the classroom because this approach requires a lot of prep time to make sure the lessons are executed effectively. Often PBL takes times away from other subjects, and in those states that follow the Common Core Standards PBL might not even be an option for teachers to attempt. New Technology High supports everything that the New Technology Model is all about. Before reading I thought I would be bored and lose interest in the material but I was proven wrong. I intend on using some of the elements of PBL into my future classroom.
