Engaging students
The document discusses strategies for engaging students through project-based learning. It defines project-based learning as using authentic learning activities to solve problems or answer questions. Meaningful projects are personally relevant to students and serve an educational purpose. The document recommends designing projects that give students voice and choice, use role-playing to make content realistic, provide just-in-time feedback, encourage self-reflection, and develop 21st century skills through collaboration.

Editor's Notes
- #5 Project-based learning is learner centered. Students have a significant voice in selecting the content areas and nature of the projects that they do. There is considerable focus on students understanding what it is they are doing, why it is important, and how they will be assessed. Indeed, students may help to set some of the goals over which they will be assessed and how they will be assessed over these goals. All of these learner-centered characteristics of PBL contribute to learner motivation and active engagement. A high level of intrinsic motivation and active engagement are essential to the success of a PBL lesson.
- #6 2. From student point of view, Project-Based Learning: 1. Is learner centered and intrinsically motivating. 2. Encourages collaboration and cooperative learning. 3. Requires students to produce a product, presentation, or performance. 4. Allows students to make incremental and continual improvement in their product, presentation, or performance. 5. Is designed so that students are actively engaged in "doing" things rather then in "learning about" something. 6. Is challenging; focusing on higher-order skills. 2. From teacher point of view, Project-Based Learning: . Has authentic content and purpose. 1. Uses authentic assessment. 2. Is teacher facilitated--but the teacher is much more a "guide on the side" rather than a "sage on the stage." 3. Has explicit educational goals. 4. Is rooted in constructivism (a social learning theory). 5. Is designed so that the teacher will be a learner. 6. Teacher plays a major role in setting the learning goals of the project. 7. Teacher and students provide formative evaluation. 8. Teacher, students, and others may help in the summative (final) evaluation. 9. Rubrics created by a combination of teacher and students. These facilitate self-evaluation, peer evaluation, evaluation by the teacher, and evaluation by outside experts.
- #16 Una Matriz de Valoración (Rúbrica - Rubric en inglés [1]) facilita la Calificación del desempeño del estudiante en las áreas del currículo (materias o temas) que son complejas, imprecisas y subjetivas. Esta Matriz podría explicarse como un listado del conjunto de criterios específicos y fundamentales que permiten valorar el aprendizaje, los conocimientos y/o las competencias, logrados por el estudiante en un trabajo o materia particular. http://www.eduteka.org/MatrizValoracion.php3 Analyze the benefits of the results for both the individuals and the group/community. Learn about rubrics as teacher's guidance. In writing journals, students reflected on their thinking and problem-solving processes, which they knew they would need to explain in their oral presentation
- #17 You and your students need to get ready for 21st century skills: learn about rubrics as teacher's guidance. To boost collaboration skills, work on role-playing and team-building activities. Learn how to use time and task organizers. Practice oral presentation skills and learned to produce videos and podcasts
