I may be revising my postiion. It has been interesting reading!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14331907125972477498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-510272556388072283.post-38543294864182680352014-03-20T09:54:22.502-07:002014-03-20T09:54:22.502-07:00"These changes in education are being impleme..."These changes in education are being implemented as a result of the ACCRS (Alabama College and Career Ready Standards)." I don't think the ACCRS standards have had much of an impact yet. That will happen, but it is only beginning. The real impetus is the result of certain superintendents/school districts wanting to move away from burp-back for a lot of reasons: use technology, prepare for 21st century, success elsewhere, etc.<br /><br />"I am not a fan of constructivism." Really? It sounds like you are. Constructivists are the primary users of project/problem/challenge based instruction.<br /><br />" I question why (although I know why - it’s an easy and quick way of compiling metrics) we focus on multiple choice or similar assessment strategies when this does not demonstrate critical thinking skills." Because what some considered as assessment is easy. <br /><br />Thoughtful. Well written. Very well done!<br />John Hadley Strangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17484977903995419205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-510272556388072283.post-45608728009183462932014-03-15T20:00:11.790-07:002014-03-15T20:00:11.790-07:00Lynn,

I agree that traditional learning and project based learning can co-inside with each other. I realized that sometimes, especially with Secondary Education, not every topic that I cover will need a project. Sometime, you will have to use the power points and worksheets in order to cover a topic. When it comes to other schools getting the up to date technology like Baldwin County it is not that easy. For example, Mobile County is a larger school system than Baldwin County. Baldwin County has donations from various companies and possibly other private funding. I would love to see all the school districts become like Baldwin County however, I know that it will not happen anytime soon. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00269871529585776435noreply@blogger.com
