Challenge Based Learning Reflection:

Overall, I think it was great we had the opportunity to learn about Challenge Based Learning in our Ed Tech Class. It was something I wasn't real familiar with and it was interesting to learn more about it. 


According to the apple website most of us in Ed Tech got our ideas for our own Prezi presentation off of, Challenge Based Learning is 
"Challenge Based Learning applies what is known about the emerging learning styles of high school students and leverages the powerful new technologies that provide new opportunities to learn to provide an authentic learning process that challenges students to make a difference."


It also states that this type of learning is 
"Challenge Based Learning is an engaging multidisciplinary approach to teaching and learning that encourages students to leverage the technology they use in their daily lives to solve real-world problems. Challenge Based Learning is collaborative and hands-on, asking students to work with other students, their teachers, and experts in their communities and around the world to develop deeper knowledge of the subjects students are studying, accept and solve challenges, take action, share their experience, and enter into a global discussion about important issues."


Both of these quotes put into words essentially what we learned about Challenged Based Learning. Essentially you assign a challenge to your students, ours for our Ed Tech Presentation was how you can help the environment. We titled it "Say Hello to Hybrid Cars". Overall, I think our group had a lot of fun with the project, and I've even discovered that I really like using www.prezi.com and have already decided to use it for a group project in another one of my classes! :) 

Here is another resource so that you can hopefully implement this in your own classroom! :)
