=EETT Project Update: November 13th, 2008= =media type="custom" key="2675183"= = = =Definitions Related to Passion-based Learning=


 * [|Passion (emotion)]**, feeling very strongly about a subject or person, usually referring to feelings of intense desire and attraction.
 * [|Inquiry-based learning]** describes a range of philosophical, curricular and pedagogical approaches to teaching. Its core premises include the requirement that learning should be based around student questions. Teachers are viewed as facilitators of learning rather than vessels of knowledge. The teachers job in an inquiry learning environment is therefore not to provide knowledge, but instead to help students along the process of discovering knowledge themselves.
 * [|Project based learning]**, or PBL, is a constructivist pedagogy that intends to bring about deep learning by allowing learners to use an inquiry based approach to engage with issues and questions that are rich, real and relevant to their lives. This strategy is well served since the onset of the read/write Web. Teachers have ready made content easily available via the Web and the tools to allow for creative student directed creation of content related to the problems and questions contained in the project being studied.
 * [|Techno-constructivist] are** teachers who integrate technology into the curriculum so that it not only complements instruction but redefines it.
 * [|Autodidacticism]** (also **autodidactism**) is self-education or [|self-directed learning.] An **autodidact**, also known as an **automath**, is a mostly self-taught person, as opposed to learning in a school setting.
 * School 2.0** goes beyond the practical discussion of applying the read/write and collaborative Web technologies in the classroom. It is, instead, a larger discussions of how education, learning, and our physical school spaces can (or should) change because of the changing nature of our social and economic lives brought on by these technologies.

=Powering Up Your PLN= //"More than ever before, students have the potential to own their own learning—and we have to help them seize that potential. We must help them learn how to identify their passions; build connections to others who share those passions; and communicate, collaborate, and work collectively with these networks. And we must do this not simply as a unit built around "Information and Web Literacy." Instead, we must make these new ways of collaborating and connecting a transparent part of the way we deliver curriculum from kindergarten to graduation."// Will Richardson

Before we can help students connect, collaborate, and build their own network we have to know how to build ours.

Project Based Learning
media type="custom" key="2601435" MIT distinguished professor Seymour Papert is among a growing group of scholars who support project-based learning, in which students move from hands-on work to abstract thinking by solving real-world problems.

=**TPCK Model**=
 * This is about getting technology into the classroom. We know from diffusions of innovation literature that this is probably the toughest part. Luckily, there's a new model that helps us think about how to develop technological pedagogical content knowledge. You can learn more about this model at the website: http://tpck.org/tpck/index.php?title=TPCK_-_Technological_Pedagogical_Content_Knowledge

[|Stephanie Sandifer]author of [|Change Agency]
Classroom Instruction That Works is a collection of effective strategies culled from a meta-analysis of decades of research on what works in classrooms to improve student learning and increase student achievement. This meta-analysis was conducted by Robert J. Marzano, Debra J. Pickering, and Jane E. Pollock. They combined these effective strategies into nine broad categories:
 * [|Identifying Similarities and Differences]
 * [|Summarizing and Note-Taking]
 * [|Reinforcing Effort and Providing Recognition]
 * [|Homework and Practice]
 * [|Nonlinguistic Representation]
 * [|Cooperative Learning]
 * [|Setting Objectives and Providing Feedback]
 * [|Generating and Testing Hypotheses]
 * [|Questions, Cues, and Advance Organizers>]

What is PBL?
According to [|Wikipedia], Project based learning, or PBL, is a constructivist pedagogy that intends to bring about deep learning by allowing learners to use an inquiry based approach to engage with issues and questions that are rich, real and relevant to their lives. This strategy is well served since the onset of the read/write Web. Teachers have ready made content easily available via the Web and the tools to allow for creative student directed creation of content related to the problems and questions contained in the project being studied.
