From the videos i learned a great deal about how project based learning can help in a classroom.
As Mr. Capps showed examples of how he used projects to help his class work on skills. Such as writing to Joe Bonher about females serving in open combat. Then he went into detail about how these project helped his students on writing and comprehension. I have taken into account about keeping projects simple as he does makes it easy to use and friendly.The videos opened  a new door of a more hands on approach to learning. i will use this in my classroom in the future.

A PLN also known as a Personal Learning Net work is probably one of the most important ways to learn. A PLN is away for you to connect to information and how and what information you choose. Twitter,Facebook,and other social networks are considered part of this PLN. As a future teacher i recomend this. It allows a student to stay connected with information at all times. The student can get it from friends family a random twitter post it doesn't matter because they ae always connected to information. I will encourage my students to use this in hopes to expand their minds and gather as much as possible so they can be the best they can be.

Asking questions can be a very important way for teacher to get on the level of students. By asking a question a teacher can jump start the minds of a student making them think and use this tool.
 But how do you ask a question that is effective? Simple really the question should be in depth to force the student to find an answer on there own. Now your tempting a student to find out the answer and teach themselves which is the reason for education. Question are a great way to force a student to find things out and to really learn. Say your teaching history and are studying WW2 you ask a question like What drove Hitler into being the man who he became? this question now forces the student to read not just the when where but puts more on the why. which is the most important because this helps students get more interested and learn the small thing that will peak the student to learn more.
