I ...Mary Alice, I really enjoyed reading your post. I found it to be very thoughtful and thorough. I love hearing your perspective as an educator about the topics we are discussing such as United Streaming and Discover Education for presenting videos. I like the way you described videos as taking a field trip. I never thought of it that way but you are very right. We cannot always take our students to the places that we want them to see, but with the technology that we have access to today we can bring these places to them. I am a big supporter of PBL. When I was in school we did not do it. Like yourself, I spent many nights memorizing material and “burping” it back the next day for a test. And for me the knowledge was out the door by the next day. For me, another bad result of not doing PBL is that now as an adult I am less comfortable with collaborating with classmates and presenting work to an audience. I fully agree with you that it is important that our students learn to do this from a young age. I feel that it will help our students to be confident, better adjusted, and more prepared for life in the adult work force. PBL is going hard to do from the very beginning of my career and it will become easier as I become comfortable with it. to be quite a challenge for me as a teacher but it believe it will be something I will work Allison Sellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00256605737083197553noreply@blogger.com
