Reading Reflection #11

As a result of using Project-based learning approach, students take learning as well as teaching into their own hands.  This is a very beneficial lifelong lesson that continues to develop even after the project is complete.  A student’s project can be “brought home” when students learn leadership, teamwork, and cooperation throughout their project and because the project is designed, created and presented by them they will complete the project with a sense of pride, achievement and ownership.  Not only is Project-based learning beneficial for students, but for teachers and faculty as well.  The teachers are able to review students’ projects and take a new look into the minds of students.  They are then able to network with other faculty and share inspiration and good, as well as not so good, ideas with others.  Concepts in this chapter relate to our teams topic/project by emphasizing the importance of taking pride in the completed project.  Once the project is completed, our team has developed knowledge about teamwork, dedication and what it takes to help make a project beneficial.  Our teammates will use this knowledge throughout their lives to all projects that they may become involved in.
