Ishara Brent Reading Reflection 7

Description of the levels of classroom discussions

Levels of classroom discussion includes teacher to teacher, which includes teacher conversations that touch on everything, project planning, and working together. Another level is student to student, which includes students discussing their learning experiences and enhancing their communication skills. The last level is Teacher to student. This is very important and includes technology and how teachers can communicate with each and every student to help them with a project. 

Discussion on the questions for “checking in” on students during a project

There are many questions to ask to get the kind of information you want.  is a question that ask if a class is staying on schedule, do they have the materials they need, or When is the best time to do something. Teamwork is another type of question that focus on team members and their group work. Such as, are the team members getting along, is a student carrying too much, or are they able to manage conflict. Understanding is a type of question that observes teams at work. It ask if a student thought about the work before they started, or have they considered research. Last type of question is self assessment, which finds out what students are thinking about the project. 

Discussion on the benefits to students when optimizing the use of technology

Students have a lot of benefits when optimizing technology. Some of those benefits are helping students meet learning goals by communicating and reaching out to them. Another benefit is podcast that match students learning speed and needs. Another benefit is you can choose what kind of technology yo want to use. this is very helpful for students and their learning. 

Discussion on the 21st-century skills that can make or break a project

Troubleshooting is a 21st century skill that can make a project because it helps students understand the real-world projects come with challenges. Also, project based earning can make or break a project. Some students get intimidated  about their skills, such as writing and they have to practice and seek help. A teacher skills can make or break a project, a teacher has to be prepared and communicate with students so that they can learn and be successful. With a lack of skills you can break project and with strong skills you can make a project. 

Discussion on how concepts in this chapter relate to your topic/project
