Topic 2's investigative report had me researching place based learning, and I really enjoyed it! PBL holds so much promise for students. There are so many times that classrooms seem to jump right to, and focus more on, global studies and forget that they have great learning and teaching resources right in their backyards. Also, kids are missing out on having a connection with their communities by learning from the history and the people in the community. Another great thing about this teaching method is that it connects and intertwines with other teaching methods like community and service based learning. A lot can be taught with this method like responsibility and respect for their environment and community, communication skills, volunteer skills, and so much more! PBL is definitely something that I want to try to incorporate into my future classroom.
This project was so much fun! I really had a great time with this video. These last two videos have been so fun and I have enjoyed the learning process that has accompanied each video. I honestly think this is the most creative I have ever been in my life, and it's a great feeling!
