Reflection #3

1.       The beginning of any project starts with some big ideas right? Students asked to brainstorm about all the potential things that can be presented for their specific project topic. Chapter 3 expressed that one of the important purposes of a group lesson plan project is to learn something that you have never known before, and through your project you are able to educate all of those who you present your project too. Collaborating with fellow classmates, sharing resources material, and thinking outside the box on how to create one cohesive project is the key to educational success.

2.       2lst century skills have a foundation built on things such as:

·         Analyzing the information when searching for reliable resource for your project.
·         Evaluating the research you have found to narrow down the key points for the project.
·         Using Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives to help construct an effective plan lesson for the group project.

3.       It’s essential to understanding that 21st century literacy allow students gain strong a more realistic view of the world they live in. Reading and writing skills are important parts of 21st century literacies, but students have to possess comprehension skills for the things they are reading and writing for critical thinking to take place and as a result students have eternally learned something for a lifetime.

4.       The essential learning functions contains eight parts.
o   Ubiquity: Learning Inside and Outside the Classroom, and All the Time - tools that help students become more mobile and learn on the go.
o   Deep Learning - go beyond "filtered" information and use higher-order thinking to engage students.
o   Making Things Visible and Discussable – Students will be able to display the key points to their audience from the information they’ve found.
o   Expressing Ourselves, Sharing Ideas, Building Community – Students should use the Internet to express their thoughts and feelings with those within a shared society.  EX: Twitter.
o   Collaboration-Teaching and learning with others – students will learn more when working hand and hand with fellow classmates and teachers.
o   Research – Students should use the Interest to look for reliable resources.  
o   Project Management: Planning and Organization - helps students manage time, work, sources, feedback from others, drafts, and products during projects.
o   Reflection and Iteration – Students will be able to reflect on what was going on when they were coming up with their big ideas. Having a Facebook page is one of the many ways to be about to do this.


5.       What I have learned from this chapter is that there is so much that goes into group project lesson planning and now I have a better understanding of what my group will have to do for our Classroom Kitchen lesson plan project to better successful.

  1. I agree, this chapter helped me realize just how much goes into group project lesson planning as well. But as these chapters continue I'm finding new ways of learning how to work in my current group and how to teach in the future.

  2. I agree that there is so much that goes into group project lesson planning and that have a big idea is a very important part of that. I also think literacy should be a main focus for teachers when they are teaching. I look forward to see your group's presentation!
