Logan-Chapter 7 RR

Classroom discussions can be the prime time of when information is being learned by your students, whether is a discussion before or after your lesson to discuss a topic allows the students more opportunities to know the material. My favorite level of classroom discussion is student to student. I find when students are able to conduct their own information they retain the information better. To discuss a topic you really have to know the topic. Checking in on students gives the students a since of responsibility, not having their teacher constantly lecturing to them will make them feel more at ease. With PBL students will be moving freely around the class and possibly school. It’s important that the teacher still holds the authoritative stands to help students fall back into track. Using technology in the classroom can benefit those students who have a more creative mind; technology gives teachers a tool to tap into some of their students brains that can be hard otherwise.  Changing up the way you teach to capture blooms taxonomy is a great way to optimize the use of technology. One way to manage conflict during PBL is to pay close attention to the dynamics of the teams I your class. Team conflict will make the project not so fun, and cause chaos where the focus is no longer on the project. Encourage self-reflection and group reflections so that everyone will remain on the same page.
