Project Based Learning, at the first sight when I read this term it gave me the idea that it referred to learning which is based on projects. This term made me think especially of one of the times when I had an important project on Gender issues, where we were in competition with other schools in America, Spain etcetera trying to get the first place. At the beginning, I thought that this topic had to do with the way how we organize our projects; how we collaborate with other competitors and also the experience we get in the end. From all the articles that I read until now about this method, I realized that my idea at the beginning was not incorrect, but it was somehow diverse from it as it referred to materials and concepts that are learned through projects. It is a good way to teach those key skills that we mentioned when we had the first lecture, which refer to critical thinking, collaboration, time management and communication. This method in my opinion is quite helpful and ent

   It was the first time this week that I got introduced to this new way of active learning. I found it very interesting and enjoyable, and I wish I had more seminars using this method. What I really enjoyed is the fact that you can be anywhere, and all you need is internet access and a sofa where to stay comfortable. On the other side, you have your friends and your professor that can respond to your questions any time. Through videos you have the possibility to learn about your lesson in a different way, plus through comments you can express your opinion, or ask questions as well. I am very enthusiastic about using this method in my future as a teacher.     First of all, using this method of online classroom in my opinion has a lot of benefits, and I find it very helpful. I think, that by using this method we can help students work on their own space and pace. What I find also as an advantage of flipped classrooms is that through videos or online texts we give the opportunity t

    At the moment I heard about constructivism, it immediately reminded me of other lectures. It reminded me of classes in which students are in center, books that are not the only source of information, the process of learning that occurs in an interactive way and assessment done not only through tests. After reading the lecture, I realized that constructivism is an important theory connected to classroom teaching. Constructivist teaching is different from the traditional way of teaching. It consists on learning based on what we already know. Constructivism can be used in different ways by teachers in classes in order to improve the process of learning. Students become active participants as they are always looking for new ways to construct their knowledge. In this theory I like the fact that, the teacher always helps students to better understand the lesson in an active manner. I believe that this theory is very helpful for both students and teachers.      As a student, I thi

Before I read about Multiple Intelligences, I did not know that much things about this topic, or  their enormous effect on the productivity of students. As I was introduced to the topic it made me think about our level of intelligence, but then I realized it was completely different. I found many facts related to this topic attention-grabbing and very informative. While I was reading I was thinking about some teachers that I have had in the past whose class was not successful. What I realized during the text was that they did not lack any knowledge about their subject, but the reason behind that was that they did not know how to make us learn better.   This was related to multiple intelligences discovered by Howard Gardner.   Multiple intelligences mean that each of us has different ways of learning things, and we do not belong only to a category, but we might belong to a combination of them. Gardner suggests that each person has nine intelligences in different amounts: 1.
