As a result of projected-based learning students get a better understanding of what they had overall learned because they had done most of the project in groups, asked their own questions and got the answers themselves. They are learning in the real world and working to think critically, they learn to collaborate in groups and work together, as well students use technology as a tool for solving problems that they normally wouldn't with a normal lesson plan. With using projected-based learning they engage in a more meaningful learning experience.
A great way to bring a project home is to get the whole family involved and the community. Have a night and bring the community in and share ideas. Show the community what the students have learned and let them teach the community, this gives them a chance to express ourselves. Websites and blogs are another way to bring a project home as well.
Concepts in this chapter relate to our project to give us an idea what worked and what didn't work. As well gives us a chance to show the community what the students have learned and share are ideas with other, as well get feed back to better improve on the next project.
I agree with the benefits of using project-based learning and how much it helps. Your ideas on how to get people involved were smart thinking and a good idea for the community. I also think this relates to our project and what we are doing for our community.
