2. You can get your students ready for projects in a variety of ways. One such way is to have them brainstorm with their group members about what they want to do for their project. You can also have them do outlines so they have a general overview of what they want to put into the project.
3. The elements of teaching fundamentals first is to stress the overall importance of fundamentals. Students can/will succeed if they stick to the proper way of doing things for the project.
4. The important steps for preparing students to use technology for projects, is to set the ground rules for it. Inform the students that these are tools not toys for their project. That to use these tools and resources is a privilege, not something for them to socialize and fool around with.

6. This chapter relates to our project, as we made outlines for our blog project so we know what we need to get done right away.
I agree that before we let students begin a project, we as teachers must teach them to plan ahead. Brainstorming together is a great way of enforcing teamwork with students.
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree, fundamentals are very important. Structure is something that children need, many students do better with it. Having that firm foundation from the very beginning helps throughout the project and for the final parts a great deal.
