Two connections you made between the three concepts. 2. Two questions that arose while researching the three concepts. 3. Two things you found while researching. en-us 2019-03-07 03:25:10 UTC 2025-11-19 00:29:19 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Balance.png https://padlet.com/loricoffin/zbfjfzwmkj64/wish/339559287 Connection:
-I noticed that with all of the learning styles, students are taking control of their own learning.
-I also noticed that all of the styles of learning encourage group work.
Questions:
-Has anyone had the opportunity to work in a school district that has adapted PBL in to their entire curriculum? The school I student taught at has recently done so, and I am interested to see how it has been perceived. 
-How do we go about deciding which method to apply at which times?
Things I Found
-I think that it is interesting that in IBL it is not a smooth path of learning for students. They are to develop their own questions and share their findings.
-I also have an overall interest in PBL. I like the overall connection to solving real world problems.

2. How long do you allow for these projects to take?
What does it look like?  Management? Making sure to reach all the curriculum?
3. That they were all so different...I kind of thought they were the same thing and that Project based learning tied to real world problems.

2. Question: What does classroom management look like in a classroom that has adapted these?  
3. Two things found while researching these is that this way of teaching requires a lot of time for the students to complete, and this will require students to have to think at a high level. ]]> 2019-03-09 14:03:35 UTC https://padlet.com/loricoffin/zbfjfzwmkj64/wish/339559938 https://padlet.com/loricoffin/zbfjfzwmkj64/wish/339560003 1. Connections:
-They are all student centered where the teacher acts as a guide.
-They all require collaboration and communication.
2. Questions:
-Can a teacher teach in only one form? Or is it best to use a certain style based off the concept being taught?
-What would be some examples of lessons that include all 3 styles?
3. Interesting:
-I found that these styles have students thinking and learning at deeper level
-After researching, I found it interesting that they included real world applications.]]> 2019-03-09 14:04:14 UTC https://padlet.com/loricoffin/zbfjfzwmkj64/wish/339560003 https://padlet.com/loricoffin/zbfjfzwmkj64/wish/339560070 1.  All three concepts are student-led and promote students to use higher-order thinking skills.
2. a. What does a PBL look like in a classroom when students are working? 
b. What are appropriate ages for PBL and IBL?
3. a. With the IBL and PBL, it is process-focused and not content-focused. 
   b. The teacher is the facilitator for constructivism and IBL.]]> 2019-03-09 14:04:52 UTC https://padlet.com/loricoffin/zbfjfzwmkj64/wish/339560070 https://padlet.com/loricoffin/zbfjfzwmkj64/wish/339560303 1. Connections:
- All three use multiple methods to reach a final destination.
- They all use higher order thinking skills.
2. Questions:
- Will project based learning best benefit those using multiple intelligences?
- What is teacher's exact role in each of the three styles?
3. Things Found While Researching
- There's a cool Jeopardy! game that compares Project Based vs. Inquiry Based!
- Inquiry Based is about "discovery" and Project Based is about "exploration" of a question. While I used to think these were similar, we found some examples that made some clear distinctions.]]> 2019-03-09 14:07:28 UTC https://padlet.com/loricoffin/zbfjfzwmkj64/wish/339560303 https://padlet.com/loricoffin/zbfjfzwmkj64/wish/339560408 1. All three types of learning are student led using students own experiences.  
   They promote higher order thinking skills.

2. How much does the teacher facilitate in the IBL and PBL? 
    How are standards met?  It appears that PBL and IBL teach more of the processes and less on content.

3. I really need more time to research these topics. There are so many neat things that the others found and I was not finding those types of documents. ]]> 2019-03-09 14:08:37 UTC https://padlet.com/loricoffin/zbfjfzwmkj64/wish/339560408 https://padlet.com/loricoffin/zbfjfzwmkj64/wish/339560803 Connections:
1. One connection that I made between the three of them is that they are student centered with the teacher as a guide. 
2. Another connection was that they involve problem solving. 
Questions:
1. Will these types of learning help students to foster their problem solving skills?
2. Who does the teacher become a guide or facilitator without taking over too much?
Researching
1. They actually have a lot in common and those things they have in common are helpful for students. 
2. These kinds of learning will be beneficial for students in the type of skills that might help students become successful!

2.  The second connection is that the outlook of learning is similar-it is an ongoing journey!

My Questions:
1.  As a teacher, how will I be able to professionally steer my students into the right direction when they have questions that I'm not prepared for.  Lots of on-your-feet thinking-constant changing of plans-will I have the right resources?
2.  How could I motivate the passive learners and get them into take-charge mode?  I can see my high-thinkers thriving on this type of learning.

Research
1. Inquiry based and Project based differences were fuzzy in their differences.  After researching more I found out that Inquiry is more discovering and Project based was more exploration.
2. These learning approaches are the ones that are needed in today's classrooms in order for students to become critical thinkers and to foster a love of life long learning-to always be curious. Students need to be allowed opportunities for this. How to do this in our fast pace curriculum and test driven reality in our classrooms?]]> 2019-03-09 16:51:54 UTC https://padlet.com/loricoffin/zbfjfzwmkj64/wish/339577599 https://padlet.com/loricoffin/zbfjfzwmkj64/wish/339580856 1. One connection that I noticed was that all three of these types of learning are student led through their life experiences. The second connection was that all three types use higher order thinking.

2. Questions- How can I ACTIVELY use these to become a better teacher. Which is the "best"? Can you use one, two, a mixture of them? How?

3. I was familiar with constructivism and inquiry but had not heard about PBL. I am wondering a "real world" problem that can connect to my students and have them strive to solve something that we deal with. ]]> 2019-03-09 17:20:51 UTC https://padlet.com/loricoffin/zbfjfzwmkj64/wish/339580856
