Module 6: Activity 6 - Projects

The idea of projects holds s many benefits for teacher, students and even parents. I like the idea of projects.  When students are involved in what they are learning not only do they remember, but they also understand and  they make the connection to the real world as they develop a sense of ownership which promotes motivation. All students have the opportunity to make contribution.The teacher do not have to do the talking, she / he is now the guide on the side. Some projects may require help from parents.  When students are involved in a take home projects gives parents the opportunity to see first hand what children are learning. Also an involved parent is always encouraged as the students are then encouraged.   Twenty-first century skills are an important element of the education of learners.  Projects help to develop these in the learners – co operation, analysis initiative and self-direction, communication,etc. 
I have done a few small projects with my students but I want to use what I have been learning to pave the way.
