Reflection
Project-Based Learning helps
students to apply everything they learn into real-life experiences. In addition, PBL provides the opportunity to students
to work together and find answers on their own. I found this activity I chose to be engaging
because it involved learning about others’ culture, technology and more. There is not a secret that most of the
students think reading is boring; therefore this kind of activity is helping
them to learn while they are having fun.
The main goals of Project-Based Learning is critical thinking,
collaboration, and communication and I feel that this project help students to
do all of those things. It also allows students to have the free range of
displaying their different talents with a variety of programs.
