Project based learning is something that I have a lot of experience with. During my student teaching my master teacher was a big fan of project based learning. I learned that using this type or learning model take a lot in the way of classroom management. Even though these projects are meant for students to take ownership of, they still require a lot of help from the instructor to see they are meeting goals that are in place. These projects are typically at the culmination of a unit or certain subject. The goal is to make a summative assessment of out the project. This will be done by requiring certain elements in each project, how those elements are attained are up to the students.

I like project based learning because I think it is a very effective way for students to learn. I agree that tests and other kinds of assessments have their place in my classroom, but when I can use a project to evaluate the same knowledge base and different skills. There are many different types of assessment project learning. Most include assessment check points or due dates as well as ongoing assessment of work habits. A rubric is typically give to students and explained how the grading will take place.

Scaffolding learning model is a way of teaching that every teacher should be aware of. It is simply having a plan to build upon what you are teaching. The example graphic shows how one would progress in teaching using the mode of internet. It starts with the basic sets and progresses to development.

There are pros and cons for each of these two leaning models. The one learning model that i will pick to implement in my classroom is the Project Based Learning Model. You may look in the section "Learning Plan" to see an example of my Project Based Learning.
