Project Based Learning

> I was amaze with the video restaurant project and cant wait to introduce it in my classroom.  My students are using power point and they love to use it.  They will be more enthusiastic and eager if they will learn about prezi. I need to learn it myself, though.  Using technology in the classroom really makes a difference in the learners' attitude. I have this personal experience.  They were making foldables about the Moon, when I told them that after they finish making their Moon book, they can continue working with their power point. They were just so excited to finish their book.  They just love technology.  It really proves that the students we have in our classrooms now are the technology learners that are more eager to learn if we incorporate technology in our classrooms.

> I watched the Video Bro Code and I agree with what is in it. Media needs to be responsible for everything they impose to the mind of the youth. Selfish people that makes money because of immorality should stop and be more responsible.  I dont even watch music videos most of the time because values that the youth needs to know is not there. I would love to share the video to high school junior and senior boys  so they will love and respect the women and not just look at them as sex objects.  I hope that the school, the church and even the home should give each child media education, that not all that the media is  presenting should be followed.
> This is a video that i can show to the 6th grade and would recommend to show to our media center- Killing Us Softly 4 Advertising Image of Women.  Sixth graders love to see their faces in the mirror,and that is based with the experience I have with them this year.  My classroom is beside the 6th grade bathroom that has a mirror on it. Girls would love to spend minutes just looking at their faces in between their classes.  I love to see myself in the mirror  when i was young, so I think its a  girl's thing and its normal.  One  major problem that girls usually have is how to look good so they will be accepted by others. With media taking charge and adding pressure to it, girls thought that all women that appears on t.v and magazine are all perfect. They will not believe for a fact that women in magazines looked so perfect because of photoshop unless no one will try to educate them with these things. Media Literacy Education is important.  As teachers, we need  to convey to our students that not all that media  is showing us is good, we need to use our own judgment.  After all, no one will educate them about Media Education if the teacher in the classroom will not.

> I always believe that Media Literacy should be integrated in the curriculum, in that study, the students who criticize and dig deeper than watching a video learned so much better retaining the higher levels of information including recall and comprehension of ideas.  There are three states, including North Carolina who has faith in this concept, and I hope they will finally start it in our county.

> I love that video. I am a social media addict.  From the moment I wake up, and before i sleep at night after my prayers, i am checking my face book. I have an account where I only have my family, friends, neighbors, classmates back home, where I speak in my language and share my journey in the United States to the Philippines and to my family and friends all over the world. I might create another account for my colleagues and friends in the United States where i will post everything in English in the future. I believe that as a teacher, we should separate our private life to our school life. I also believe that if a teacher wants to friends in fb with his students,  that teacher should create another account just for that class.  As an educator we are public figures so we need to be very careful with everything we show in our students about our private life.

> I am so lucky because when i was in my teenage years, social media is not even existing yet, not that i know of.  At least, i have enjoyed simple joys of life aside from being infront of the computer.  I will surely be in the percentage of teens that in social media just for the sake of socializing and not school work. Last two months, i have seen a video in fb, a real story in the Philippines about two high school boys who fell in love.  Their love story is known by all and they were madly in love at one point. Then, one day one of the boys is having a count down about something. He went to a mall wearing a shirt he made that night and still counting hours for no apparent reason.  When he was in the mall, he saw his boyfriend and shoot him then shoot himself.  They had a misunderstanding and his boyfriend fall out of love for him.  The other boy got so hurt and cant accept it and did something just like that. Everything posted, everything shared, even in his last hour of his life.  Is situation like this the price we need to pay for the technology we have?

> Media itself is not bad if anyone who use it uses it right and entailed it with responsibilty.  In our students' generation, technology is one way so they will learn, therefore as educators we should be aware of this. Let us use media as our advantage, as a powerful tool in the classroom to help us in teaching our students but at the same time let us also be vigilant to also teach them to be media literate, not everything they see they should believe.  They should always ask their judgment with this, incorporate the values in every media and with any media integration. If they will be used to this practice then, media will make big difference in education. Project Based Learning
