I wonder how easily this type of education could be integrated into my current field schools? I think that it might be difficult to incorporate because of limited resources and schools being located in the urban communities. I wonder what resources are required to enforce place based education.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Place based education is a very positive educational opportunity. This strategy focuses on the students interest and engagement which I personally think is one of the most important parts of a students academic experience. I think that this educational opportunity is also positive because it encourages students to find the good/positive in their environment, community, and school experience.

# data[].attributes.body
Something that I wonder about place-based education is if I could use it with any age group and if I could use it with any subject, not just social studies.

# data[].attributes.body
I definitely think that place-based education is a positive educational opportunity. Doing things hands-on and in the real world makes it so much easier to build connections to what you are learning and make it stick and make sense.

# data[].attributes.body
I connected to how students are able to relate it to their own lives through place-based learning. It is so difficult to learn things if they don't have much to do with anything you know, so relating it to you makes it mean much more.

# data[].attributes.body
The notion of place-based education makes me wonder how or if it is used in other countries. If it is used in other countries, what countries is it used in and how is it used?

# data[].attributes.body
I think place-based education is a positive educational opportunity. Learning about the world and communities around you can be a very powerful education tool. I think this should be used more inside of classrooms.

# data[].attributes.body
From the video, I was able to relate to the students being able to learn about their own environment. In school, I remember I always did well when I was able to learn about the environment around me.

# data[].attributes.body
In the video I really connected with the positive statements the teacher made about the place based education strategy. He talked highly about the importance of incorporating things the students are interested in. I like how he talked about finding what inspires the individual student. "Connecting learning to your own environment"

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder how you can implement the place based education throughout all subjects. Could you incorporate all subjects into one whole lesson plan or would it be one subject at a time.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that place based education is a super positive experience for students and all should be exposed to it. It is very important for students to get out of the classroom every once in awhile and do hands on activities while still learning.

# data[].attributes.body
I connected with students getting to learn about their own environment. Doing things like going on field trips and using the environments that they live in can make learning about it more interesting. This helps keep students engaged when it's something they can relate to.

# data[].attributes.body
This idea makes me wonder, what will it look like in the classroom for me? Will I be able to take my students on field trips? Will I be able to decide what place-based learning I want to do or will it be decided for me?

# data[].attributes.body
I think place-based education is 100% a positive educational opportunity. Learning out in the real world can really open up your students eyes and they can see first hand different topics. It can also give them some hands on learning as well.

# data[].attributes.body
I really liked that this type of learning gives every student a chance to connect learning to life experiences. I always learned the best when I could connect what I had to learn in school to my real life experiences.

# data[].attributes.body
Place-based education makes me wonder what opportunities for differentiation would look like. How would you know when it is necessary and to what extent?

# data[].attributes.body
I appreciated how place-based learning gives students connections to their own lives. Students are more engaged in their learning because they can see how it applies to them through the environment around them.

# data[].attributes.body
I think place-based education is a positive educational opportunity. It offers a holistic and engaging approach to learning, fostering a deeper connection to the local environment, community, and the world at large. It provides valuable opportunities for students to develop critical thinking skills, empathy, and a sense of responsibility towards their surroundings.

# data[].attributes.body
It makes me wonder how I can incorporate place-based education in my future classroom and even in my student teaching experiences when I am able to do that. I love the concept and have very fond memories of doing it when I was younger.

# data[].attributes.body
I want to know if this is something that all schools would approve of or would they think its not important?

# data[].attributes.body
I think that place-based education is a very positive experience and educational opportunity that students should have. I believe it allows them to explore and manipulate the environment around them and understand classroom topics in the real world.

# data[].attributes.body
A positive educational opportunity. I think it is important for students to be able to go out and learn. They need to have something physical to connect what they have been learning in class.

# data[].attributes.body
I saw the fact that they went on field trips and were able to discover things on their own, which is very demonstrative of place-based learning. I think this is a great way to get kids involved in their community.

# data[].attributes.body
I connected to the idea of having hands on learning. This is something that I needed in order to better understand something.

# data[].attributes.body
Place-based education makes me wonder which grades can begin teaching this and how effective is it in the younger grades vs. older grades?

# data[].attributes.body
I think that place-based education is 100% a positive educational opportunity because it allows the students to learn about their own "place" or community which has meaning to them and who they are. This allows them to see how they fit in or belong to the community that they live in which is especially important for middle schoolers.

# data[].attributes.body
I saw that the students were able to be hands on during place-based learning. I think that is why this can also be so effective because when they are learning about their "place" it requires a hands on aspect to do it.

# data[].attributes.body
It makes me wonder why every school doesn't offer some type of place-based education? It seems fairly easy to incorporate in all levels of learning. If they aren't offering it, then what other options could be used to help implement it?

# data[].attributes.body
I think place-based education is definitely a positive educational opportunity. It allows the students to take what they are learning in the classroom and see it working in the real world. It is also a good way to get students out of the classroom and in a different learning environment.

# data[].attributes.body
I connected most with the hands-on learning aspect. I learned best when I was doing hands-on learning and I feel others are the same. I feel more engaged with hands-on learning, and you can see the students more engaged as well.

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder how you could create a grade wide Lesson plan where every single subject is covered within place-based learning. In the video, we saw how social studies, science, and math were taken into account throughout different grades. I would love to see how just one entire grade level could interact with the different subjects of learning, to create a final combined project that reflects the community they live in. Specifically thinking of Akron, how can you incorporate English, social studies, mathematics, and science to engender a presentation and an appreciation of our community. I love this challenge, and the ways that it provides cross content learning.

About why its not done more often. From my research for Maguth's class, its actually extremely easy to integrate on all levels. Its very surprising that its not more wide spread.

# data[].attributes.body

I believe its super positive! I think knowing about ones community history is a great way of bringing people together and getting them involved in trying to improve their community.

# data[].attributes.body
I really appreciate the concept of place-based learning, because it connects learning to the students’ lives. I feel like so often students don't understand how what they are learning connects to life outside of school, and what this format of education does is directly connect the world around the students to the classroom. It shows how what they are learning as students connects to their participation in the community around them. I love it when community is brought into the classroom, showing a sense of pride in the land we live in and the people around us. This is a huge connection point for me.

# data[].attributes.body

I connected with the sentiment of wanting to teach students about the history and culture of ones community. In fact I am currently working on a project for Professor Maguth's class where I am proposing a project to my community where old schools would be converted into community museums and learning centers!

# data[].attributes.body
Place-based learning provides an extremely positive educational opportunity for students. One of the teachers said something I really resonated with, that the students get to become “stewards of the land that they live in”. Our students get a chance to see how their impact on the community around them is affected by the things that they are learning. They get to see themselves in the history of the world around them, and become active participants in the movement of society. I love the opportunities that this format of learning provides on both an educational standpoint and also a social-emotional standpoint. Students gain a better appreciation for their community, which is such a positive aspect of this format.

# data[].attributes.body
It makes me wonder if this is an option for all school districts. More rural areas might not have a ton of community resources to use, but there is always the option of studying the nature. Some districts might not be able to take kids outside of the classroom or on hiking trips like students in the video did.

# data[].attributes.body
In the video, students went out into nature and went on hikes in their area and measured land. When I was in middle school, we learned about our community by going to the MAPS Air Museum in Green because I grew up in that county.

# data[].attributes.body
It is absolutely a positive opportunity for students. Students should know how their community fits into history and it provides a great way for students to be engaged in not only their learning but also the world around them.

# data[].attributes.body
Place-based education makes me wonder how often these could realistically take place in a school year

# data[].attributes.body
Place-based education is definitely a positive educational opportunity because it engages the children and get's more hand-on and on-site work for them and with experiences they are more likely to remember them

# data[].attributes.body
I saw them on site of a place that they were learning about. The students themselves helped to transform a ticket office into a museum. They got a say in what and how parts of the museum would be organized. They got to match older photographs of buildings to what they look like now

# data[].attributes.body
The notion of place-based education seems to be a lengthy process. Something I wondered is, is this something that can be worked on all year, like one large project or should it be shorter?

# data[].attributes.body
I think that it is a positive educational opportunity. It allows students to make these connections between the things they are learning and the world around them especially within their community. I benefited from a more hands on learning style, I was more engaged.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing that I connected with was the hands on aspect of place based learning. This is how I learned best in school. I enjoyed being able to investigate myself.

# data[].attributes.body
Once I learned about place-based learning, I wanted to know if place-based learning is common or un-common in education today?

# data[].attributes.body
I think place-based learning is a super positive educational opportunity for students. This type of education can be personalized for different learning styles, along with allowing students to learn the world around them!

# data[].attributes.body
One thing that I saw that I connected with is the hands-on activities that the students were able to complete. I activities that I remember from my early education were the hands-on activities I was able to accomplish individually and with a group. I think this hands-on learning can be geared to multiple learning styles as well!

# data[].attributes.body
I think place-based education is a positive educational opportunity for students. It helps students understand the world around them. It helps students form connections within their communities. I think it is important for students to understand the world around them outside of a classroom setting.

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder how often place-based education is used throughout the year. It seems as though it takes a lot of effort, time and dedication to plan. Also, how is it compared to other areas such as urban or rural?

# data[].attributes.body
One thing that I saw that I connected with most was the hands-on experience. In school, I remember my teacher planned lessons of where we could go outside and learn to really soak in the information she was teaching us. I also, think hands-on learning is important to incorporate into our lessons.

# data[].attributes.body
The notion of place-based learning makes me wonder how often it is actually used in the classroom. I feel like there is much time dedicated to reading and math, especially in an early childhood setting. Does this make it difficult to have place-based education in these grades? I hope that it does not, but knowing how schools are allocating time for these two subjects, does it hinder the ability to do other, project-based approaches such as place-based learning?

# data[].attributes.body
I think place-based education is a positive educational opportunity for students. It allows them to actually see what they are talking about in schools. Often times, I feel that in school many things are discussed, but there is never an actual connection made to the students. Having place-based learning solves this problem and allows students to physically see what is being taught in school. I also think it is positive because it allows the students to feel more like a part of the community they live in. I think the sense of community is essential in a classroom setting, and it is essential out in the real world.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing that I saw the I connected with in the video was the fact that the inspiration for many of the projects the students had were from the community. I went to a pretty small school that was in the smaller community of Canal Fulton. I remember doing some different projects in school both for academics and extracurriculars that involved the community. For example, when we would talk about canal systems, we had many examples and discussions about the canals in the community. Having that connection with the community made learning about the information more interesting for me. I was not only learning about these things in school, but I could see it in the community where I live.

# data[].attributes.body
This makes me wonder what schools in more rural settings would do for place-based education resources. I grew up going to a rural school and we did not have very many community resources so I am wondering what types of resources would be talked about and if they would be in the further out suburban communities.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that place-based education has a positive influence on educational opportunity. It connects students with the world outside of the classroom and engages them with their community. It allows the students to make a personal connection to the content that they are being taught.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing I connected with the most was the concept of hands-on learning. I have always felt that this is an important way to learn, and it can be very engaging for students. There are a variety of different hands-on learning experiences for every subject and this can also be a useful way to connect content across subjects.

# data[].attributes.body
It makes me wonder how the students test on standardized tests and if the students can adjust to going to a new school that might not be place-based

# data[].attributes.body
Because it enables students to engage with their interests and form personal connections to the environment around them, I believe it offers excellent educational opportunities for students. It enables students to connect what they are learning in the classroom to real-world situations.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing that I connected with was the hands on aspect of learning. I feel students learn best when they are doin hands on activities. It helps to keep the students engaged. I know for me personally I learn best by interacting with objects rather than filling out a worksheet.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing that connected to me was how the students looked at old pictures of the downtown areas and found where they were located and what they look like now. This connected to me because my dad is in a historical society for my neighborhood and they do this often. On their facebook page, I often see places and what they looked like 50-100 years ago and I enjoy seeing how places changed throughout the years in my own community.

# data[].attributes.body
What other ways can you inplament place-based learning other than history?

# data[].attributes.body
I think place-based education is a positive way for students to learn about their community and its history. Allowing the students to connect with others outside of the classroom, connecting the students to their local environment and it naturally has the students be more engaged in what they are learning. I believe this is a good way to intergrade the students learning to their community.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing that I connected with was learning about the place around them. When in school, we learnd about our towns history. At the time, I was going to school in wadsworth, so we learned the history on the bluetip factory.

# data[].attributes.body
The notion of place-based education makes me wonder how it may differ upon urban versus rural school settings. Also I wonder how this affects standardized test scores and long term education.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is a positive educational opportunity for students because it allows students to have personal connections to their environment around them and engage their interest. It also allows the students to put real world meaning to the things they are learning at school.

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder how this teaching of place-based education would be implemented into an urban school setting or any other school setting. I think the setting that the school is important because there are many different factors that making this type of education work within the schools.

# data[].attributes.body
I think place-based education is a positive educational opportunity for student. This is because it is so important that students are able to experience learning outside the classroom. by having the opportunity to learn somewhere other than the four wall of the classroom and get out into the community and learn specific topics through the community they are in.

# data[].attributes.body
The one thing that was displayed in the video that I connected to was when the students were working together outside, learning about the fires that took place in their area. I can remember doing something like this when I was in school. I think it is so important for students to be able to get out of the classroom and learn through experiences. By having the students learn through experiences they will be able to develop more real life skills that they will use later on in life.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing I saw in the video that I connected to was the hands on learning that the students got while they were working on projects. I think that it is important for students to explore the world around them as they learn. This is so they can get a better knowledge of the world and grasp more information while working hands on with the materials.

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder what the difference in test scores are from the schools that do place-based education and those schools that don't. What is the difference in the quality of education that those students receive compared to those schools with "typical learning styles".

# data[].attributes.body
I think place-based education is a positive educational opportunity. I think it is important that students learn about what is around them. This gives them the opportunity to learn more about where they are from. It also helps them develop a deeper understanding of the world around them and why things are the way they are.

# data[].attributes.body
Something I wonder is how every school could have the resources to try this? The teachers in the video seemed to have a lot of tools that others may not have. How could this be differentiated so that everybody could try it?

# data[].attributes.body
I think that it is positive. Some people can only learn and understand things if they are hands on. They also might feel more engaged if they have the opportunity to learn this way.

# data[].attributes.body
I connected to the fact that they practiced the things that they learned. I remember a couple of projects that I had to create based on the kinds of things that I knew.

# data[].attributes.body
What I saw that I connected to was that place-based learning is hands on, and engaging. I know that I learn better through doing things and having experiences rather than just reading about things. I also love learning about things that are around me and I think by incorporating the community the school is in is a great way to engage them with their community they live in.

# data[].attributes.body
I think place-based education is a positive because it so highly engages students in their learning and also expands their learning by experiencing their community around them as well as connecting it to classroom content.

# data[].attributes.body
It makes me wonder how the schools will be able to implement this based on safety concerns of leaving the school. Would this happen on a daily basis instead of being in a classroom?
