Personal+Learning+at+Prospect+PS

==During Terms 3 & 4 the students of Rm 8 embarked on Personal Learning Projects (PLP)s. They each had to pose an inquiry question to investigate and then set off to discover what they could. Using books, videos and the internet, the students gathered lots of information which they then had to synthesise and decide what presentation format they would use, to share their new learning with their peers. Some of their questions are displayed below.==

==This form of learning is vastly different to traditonal "project" work. With Personalised Learning the students are in control of the learning and it's final product. My role as the teacher is to ask quite detailed questions throughout the process and to guide them with their choices re techonology use, presentation, etc. For this reason, no two final products will ever look totally the same. The students also mentored each other extensively during our sessions, with technology use ideas/tips, presentation ideas and proof-reading. If you are interested in reading further about the differences between traditional projects and "project or personalised based learning", check out the article below.==

Project or Personalised Learning
==Once the research phase was completed, each student then had to devise an interesting way to sharee their new understandings and learning. Several students wanted to create websites, so they set off to find an easy website creator and created their very own websites. You can check out a few below.==
