Chapter 7

in chapter 7 there are three levels of classroom discussion. The first one is teacher to teacher:this is when the teachers get together and talk about the procedure all the way to the formative assessment. And how about their going to plan the lesson, and the direction that they're going. This is important to have the face-to-face collaboration with your colleagues you can use a blog, or other collaborative tools to keep your teacher to teacher conversation going. The second one is outlined is student to student: this is on students talk about their learning experiences as they happen within their teams and also across other teams. This will help with good communication and effective teamwork to help keep them organized and on track. As a teacher you want to make sure that you are listening to the students conversations. The third and outlined a student to teacher: and traditional classrooms it's for lecture and then the interaction of students have with the teacher due to election but this will change with a project-based classroom.
Therefore types of questions for checking in they are procedural, teamwork, understanding, and self-assessment. The first is procedural this is good for checklists and monitoring student project logs. The second is teamwork giving them a safe place to raise concerns and ask help if they need it they can also Ask questions using a blog or journal having them write entries. The third one is understanding you want to spend time watching the teams work listen and conversation while asking and solving problems. The last One is self-assessment, you want to ask students questions for self-assessment and sulfur flexion again journals or blobs offer space for the students to describe the challenges of frustration and ask questions that they might not be comfortable asking out loud or they can even just share how excited they are about the project.
When it comes to optimizing technology in the classroom you want to make sure that the tools the students are using meet learning goals and don't poses a distraction. Students respond positively to the experience of learning the technology, it gives them an alternative way of presenting The information you can make it fun while still reaching the learning expectation.
For the 21st-century skills they talk about troubleshooting and managing conflict within teamwork. Troubleshooting helps distinguish the effectiveness of the project. The students for understand that real world projects come with real-world challenges, and learn from setbacks and help them get back on track. For managing conflict this can be challenging because of different personalities do you have to pay close attention to team dynamics you to talk trouble you to help the students learn to manage their own team conflict. Again it is a real life skill that will serve them in music on in the real world with jobs and other opportunities.
For my project we are using Skype, the Internet and ePals,  students are going to have to work together and overcome challenges with troubleshooting and managing conflict with in their teams. It also talks about the questions for the students and I will have to make sure to ask these questions to students along with having them ask questions and work together with in their groups.
