I found this video an excellent example of higher quality learning in the classroom. It has been a number of years since I have been in school but i never had an experience that was even remotly close to this. When i was in middle school i think we only had 1 comp for the whole school. I think that allowing children to take an active role in their learning will allow them to become interested in what they are learning through interaction. I hope to have technology such as this in my classroom being that it will add to the students interest and potential to learn.

I think this is a great way for kids to learn, and this highly shows advanced quality learning. Letting the children be hands on and get involved in the lesson will help them be more interested in what is trying to be taught, and will get them more excited for the lessons ahead. This lesson isn't as the video says "teacher directed" and in my opinion those are the best kinds of lessons, because it gives the chance to be responsible for their own work. A lesson I had like this was in high school chemistry class, when most of the lessons were 'hands on' so we could get a better understanding of the experiments.

I think that this video is great. PBL is an effective way to learn, and to rememebr what you have learned. Kids can get bored easy, and having them so involved keeps things interesting.

i think that this is a great example of higher quality learning. kids need activities/experiments like this in order to get more interested in what they are learning. I think things like this work great in the classroom and i would use them when i begin teaching.

This video was an excellent example of higher learning in the classroom. Giving students the ability to work with scientists to do research is truly a higher level learning experience. The students at Clearview are given the chance to be creative and make a multimedia project while learning about technology and insects. One practice that this teacher utilized that I would consider using with my own students is giving the students a chance to help develop a rubic for an assignment.

This video was a great example of higher learning in the classroom. This type of learning provides students with skills that allows them to perform well in other subjects both now and in the future. The video gave great examples of how technology in the classroom can hep students find research on projects. I look forward to teaching and applying this type of technology for history classes. Students need to achieve things such as this to give them confidence in their work and performance. As a returning student I must admit that when I was in school we were not provided this type of technology. I'm in awe of what children are now able to achieve in the classroom and look to help my future students achieve success not only in the classroom but in all aspects of their life.
PBL in classroom
Submitted by mduncan (not verified) on January 9, 2008 - 13:58.
It is a good idea to set up a PBL in the classroom. Students in a math setting, can relate real world situations to what they are learning in math. How formulas are used outside of the classroom.

The Edutopia Web site has numerous articles and videos about project-based learning (PBL). If you are new to PBL, you should look at our instructional module. It can be used in a teacher workshop or you can use it as a self-paced learning unit. The module may be found at edutopia.org/teachingmodules/PBL/index.php
Additionally, the article "Start with the Pyramid" provides a wonderful entry into this topic See edutopia.org/start-pyramid

The video is great but the links to the individual segments do not appear to be working. Can you please let me know if you are able to resolve this issue as we do use segments of the video in a PD workshop. Thank you!
PBL

I really enjoyed viewing this PBL experience. I agree with all of the previous postings and wonder where/when the teacher received his training and how long it took him to get to this point! With the planning, resources, and creating the learning environment, I am just amazed at the amount of time and energy that was put into this! It would be great to see this happening in our building, but we need "baby steps" to get started.
