What is super awesome about this chapter, Project Launch--Implementation Strategies is that it reflects on how students can reflect and evaluate their strengths and weaknesses and grow within their work. Examples of this is having a blog just like I am using here. The students have their own space in order to write and reflect on their learning. They can post as much as they want, they can also add to previous blogs.
The chapter also covers ways that students/teachers can get the students ready to do their projects. To begin with you should tap into prior knowledge, or using K-W-L charts. Each day have the students for a few minutes, this could bring up more ideas they have, or ones they are still interested in. This way the excitement will build and get them ready for the project.
The elements of teaching fundamentals first are important because students need to understand what is expected and what the goal of the project is before they start it and before it gets to far in to it and they are lost. There are some elements of teaching that are important; Setting up a technology playground. Tapping student expertise, introducing project-management tools and then ending with demonstrating the tools for the students. They all are important for setting the students up for achievement for the project.
There are ways to promote inquiry and deep learning. Students should understand that there is a relationship between need and opportunity. Also money, bartering and other means of exchange as existed throughout history and will always change. Modern money has a symbolic worth as an exchange medium, economics, health and well-being are actually related. And humans are interdependent.
This relates to my project because with deep learning and inquiry, I want my students to have a deep understanding in their learning, and want them to want to learn.
