This week in ED 307, I applied what I have learned about partnering pedagogies by writing a lesson plan that was based on project-based learning (PBL). Project-based learning is a great way to make learning more authentic for children. In this lesson, learning about the weather and meteorologists becomes real for children through first-hand experiences and hands-on learning. After learning about weather and practicing forecasting the weather in the classroom, the children go on to build their own weather forecasting station and video it to share with the rest of the school. I implemented technology into this lesson on the kindergarten level by having them learn to use the Shadow Puppet app to capture the weather forecasts. We would then edit the video together as a class on the Smartboard. The children also review what they have learned at the end of the lesson by helping me to compost a class blog entry on our class website.
