I feel project based learning can be very productive. I have started using this in my problem solving class. I have really noticed the enhanced critical thinking that comes with project based learnig. I plan on using this quite often in future lab activities.

I have found that a plan always makes things less stressful. I feel after reading this i will more efficently plan. I am definatly gonna google plan templates. 

I like the different ways of engaging students. I like to use the who wants to be a millionair game in class. I let them phone a friend or poll the audience on a lab assignment or question i may ask. I am gonna incorporate the formative assements of entry and exit slip. I feel this would be a great way to stay on track with the class onjectives and to monitore everyones knowledge and retainment.

I learned that our classes need to be set up not only to align with our compencies but with the industry standards aswell. We need to align our curriculum with all of our eductional partners teaching the same materials. This horizontal allignment will ensure we are meeting standards across the educational system.
