Project based learning, to me, is a great way to explain learning opportunities for students and teachers.  With the advancements in technology, 21^st-century technology begins to because an important role in our society.  When project-based learning takes place within the classroom, students become more resourceful and hopefully use technology in a different way, more as an educational tool instead of the way they use it.  Using technology for educational purposes in and outside of the classroom open up so many doors, meet new people from all around the world, also students can use it as a means of feed back and sharing of ideas and information.  “Bringing you project home” means a way of using what students are learning in the class out side of the class to help solve real world problems.  

This chapter gives ways of expanding what we do in the classroom to the life outside.

When I think about using the project based learning approach I really think about a ton of opportunities for higher learning. In the 21st-century technology plays a huge role in every ones lives. Even our young students. Its going to take a lot of hard work and planning but these project far out-way the traditional learning styles that are being used. By the end of these projects you should feel like you and your students have been on an amazing learning journey together. Don't let the connections you have made with your colleges and others end just because the project is over. continue collaborating with them and search for improvements that can be made. yes there will be some. Share you insights with others so that they can learn from you just as you learned from other during the course of the project. A really good idea is to create a project library. The key thing here is to enjoy the journey.

The concepts in this chapter relate to our project because hopefully we take what we have learned here and use it in the future. Hopefully we did enjoy the journey.

It is very important during a project to set aside time for reflection after you "wrap up" your project. Taking time to reflect can help students to feel good about their accomplishments. Reflection is also an essential part of learning. Looking back can reveal things that students might not thought about otherwise. Reflection can also give students time to look back at how they overcame obstacles when the work was hard. Reflection also lets students see how gratifying the learning journey can be by recalling positive experiences.

Many schools identities are tied to their traditions. These schools share an expectation of excellence. why now have a school that is known for its exemplary project work. This is started with awareness. Younger students will be ready for the learning that awaits them. This can help the community to value and notice the accomplishments of the students and the community will show support.

Celebrate your students work. Show off what the students have done to the community using any method you would like. Throw a party or and event, or create a blog. just get it out there. Classroom displays can be a great way to celebrate work.

These concepts are related to our project because our students will surly be reflecting on the project they have created and their new friends. The students work should be celebrated and the parents and community should support what they have accomplished and attend their restaurant.
