Our Students' Perspectives on 21st Century Learning
Northwest Prep Students
Students share their perspectives on project-based learning at Northwest Prep. Through their project work, students engage in inquiry on a driving question, create products that demonstrate their learning of key concepts and their reflective thinking. This semester students have focused on the essential question "Is Progress Worth the Price?". They will share their learning at a Student Exhibition Night on May 30th. In the videos below, NWP students talk about how project-based learning has helped them to develop the skills and competencies to think critically and creatively, collaborate productively, and communicate effectively.

Piner-Olivet Charter School Students
"I love using Prezi because I can express myself in different ways and see other ways people do things on their projects." - 7th grade student, POCS
"I like collaborating on group projects with my group members from different computers instead of just working on it at school on one computer. Working on projects has gotten so much easier after the teachers introduced Prezi to us." - 7th grade student, POCS
"With PowerPoint it was hard to connect everyone and work at the same time. Now that we use Prezi, anyone can work and edit the same Prezi at the same time. We get more done together." - 7th grade student, POCS

"Edmodo let's me send posts and view other people's presentations. I can post comments on their projects and they can post comments about mine. It is cool because you get introduced to new things when you see other people's projects." -- 5th grade student, Jack London Elementary School
"Collaborative learning helps you to learn to work together with any partner and join your strengths" -- 6th grade student, Olivet Elementary Charter School |
