InquiryWhat questions did I ask while working on the project?Will our work on the cell phone project make a difference?Did any new questions arise while working on the project? How good are reference materials on a mobile device compared to a book?

Significance

• Why was the project valuable, whether to the world or to your own life? The game board project taught me that electrical wiring isn’t as hard as I

thought and how to make a product.

Perspective• How has the project changed your

view of the world, whether it be your personal world or the larger community/global world?

Our cell phone campaign work has been viewed by people all over the world because Scott McLeod, an influential Iowa educator, put our teacher’s blog as blog of the day.

• How has working on projects allowed you to see other people’s perspectives?  

Working on projects has allowed me to see that everyone sees things in a different way.

Evidence

• How did you know what to believe when doing your projects? When I was working on the cell phone project I believed what the

facts supported.• How was evidence important in demonstrating to others what you

learned? We had to show people that we know what we are talking about

because they didn’t believe us.

Connection

• How did the project create a connection for you between subjects or topics that did not seem related before?

The game board project made a connection between math and science that I haven’t had before.

Supposition

• What kind of predictions can you make for your future - next semester or further?

I am not sure what I will do for the next semester with the G2 program.

• What changes will you make as a learner and/or team member and what do you predict the outcome will be as a result?

As a learner I am going to try to remember my work more because for the archeology project I forgot my work a lot.

Conclusion

• State three things that you have realized about yourself as a learner (positive or negative)

• Smart • Forgetful• Dedicated
