Blog 11 - Project Based Learning Project

The project based learning project has been the most daunting of the projects in this class. Since the start of the project, I've felt as though I'm treading water, just trying to keep my head above water, unsure where to turn for help. Our original group, Techy Teachers, was unfortunately disbanded, and we were each placed into a different group. It's been tough since we had created a group dynamic that worked, and we were lucky to have a group of four committed students. We each did what we needed to, when it needed to be done. It would have been nice if we could have just volunteered to be project leader for a second project and stayed together.

In addition to having to acclimate myself to a new group, this project is a large undertaking. I do find it to be highly beneficial, however, to the learning of the students. Unfortunately, I am creating a project for a content completely unrelated to mine - project over 5th grade social studies standards, while I teach 8th grade math and language arts. I would have preferred to complete all of this work for something that I could actually use in my classroom.

In addition, I did have a family crisis in the middle of this module, and that has been an additional struggle in completing this project ... and completing it well. I look forward to seeing the end results for my group!
