The teacher makes connections by recognizing a
learning opportunity or making introductions online to connect curious students
with willing experts. Connecting students with experts will require effort by
the teacher. Students have to be prepared for working with experts. By
branching out, the students are learning more about other people and
communities. They also take pride in their work knowing that they are making a
difference in learning about new things.

EAST has four parts:
a.
Student-driven learning: Students need to be
responsible for their own learning.
b.
Authentic project-based learning: Students
should be engaged in solving real problems in their communities.
c.
Technology as tools: Students need access to the
relevant technologies that professionals use to solve real problems.
d.
Collaboration: When students collaborate in
teams to pursue authentic projects, they accomplish more than any one person
can do in isolation.
EAST is a nonprofit organization that works
with public and private partners to achieve its’ mission.

Students can lead by starting with generating a
project idea they care about. Then they can come up with their own projects and
collaborate with other students.

This can relate to our project because we are
leading our Healthy Living projects. Yes, we have rubrics, but we are doing our
own project based off the guidelines.
I like how you explained how to build connections and giving examples!
ReplyDeleteI liked that your post was concise and to the point. However, I would like to know more how you plan to help students connect with experts. Although it would be great for all students to naturally know experts this will not always be the case. For example a student wants to talk to a dietician or personal trainer. Well, not every student knows one or can find one online easily. How will you help those students find experts?
ReplyDeleteI like how demonstrate your examples. You make them easy to understand.
