Brian Crosby's video was very different and unique on the subject of PBL. It was interesting by the way that he used the projects into his routine to get the kids interested in school and how he used the air balloon project in many different ways. Crosby showed how students related to the subject over time after you incorporate them in it more. Crosby really shows you that teaching can become unlimited once the students' creativity comes to play.

He uses the acronym QUIVERS, to explain his style of the Blended Learning Cycle, when combining everything together. QUestion, Investigation, Video, Elaboration, Review, Summary Quiz. His method of teaching is a great way to get students to fully understand the material, which is what you want in the classroom. I can see this method working best in the setting that it is presented, a science class, since science takes alot of investigating a subject to understand it completely.

Making Thinking Visible by Mark Church has his class work in groups.The
groups use collaboration learning. Most people believe teachers just lecture, but there are other ways to get a lesson across. By the teacher setting the students in a group, they learn more than with a lecture. Thinking leads to learning.
Future teachers can learn to teach outside of lectures in the classroom
from this video.
Project Based Learning by Dean Shareski talks about combining classes. He combined three subjects into one
project. PBL is already one of the most out the box teaching methods.
The video showed how you can go past that limit even more. Students getting bored in class is inevitable,it will happened, but it will
rarely happened if teachers can continue to think outside of the box. We can
learn that there is no limit to how you can teach material in today's
school systems. Technology is limitless and so is teaching and learning.
Roosevelt Elementary's PBL program by Trish Taylor. The video goes over the benefits of it as well, like the fact that PBL teaches a completely new way of learning. Students also begin to work on their public speaking skills at a very young age.The children are starting to learn how to take responsibilities seriously.With the students being able to choose what they do, it helps
empower their education as a whole. This makes it to where all students can benefit
from education. This video shows how students truly learn through PBL. The kids are excited about learning
because it is fun and engaging.
Hi Chalandra! Good job on your post! You summarized the videos well while also sharing what you learned from the teachers. I particularly enjoyed the video, Making Thinking Visible. I liked how Mark Church challenged and motivated his students to think deeply about certain subjects, and then explain how they felt about it. Then, weeks later, seeing if they felt the same way or different on the subject. I also love your quote/image! Keep up the good work, we're almost to the finish line.
