Feedback on Simons Blogpost #2
Howdy Simon, Wow just wow I though your blog post was super amazing. I though you did an amazing job of collecting information, applying it to your school work and applying it to your life. Most of the feedback I give is usually about making things applicable but I’m going to have to think of something new because you did that so well.
I don’t have anything to add for your first few sections as per the reasons I outlines above, however, for your last section regarding project based learning I think you could have expanding on your ideas a bit more. For example you do a great job of reflecting on how you use project based learning ‘By building projects around open-ended questions, it gives me the flexibility as a student to further develop planning phases’ However I think it would help bolter your blog post if you deconstructed project based learning and then addressed the different parts of it.
For example: (this is ai just using it for example)
“Inquiry and Student-Driven Exploration
PBL begins with a meaningful question, challenge, or problem that students actively investigate. Instead of being given direct answers, learners engage in inquiry, research, and critical thinking to find solutions. This process promotes curiosity, ownership, and deeper understanding.
Authentic, Real-World Context
Projects are designed around real-world relevance—issues, contexts, or problems that connect to students’ lives or communities. This authenticity makes learning purposeful and helps students see the value of what they’re doing beyond the classroom.
Collaboration and Reflection
Students typically work collaboratively, sharing ideas, dividing responsibilities, and learning from peers. Reflection is built into the process so learners evaluate their progress, refine their ideas, and connect their experiences to key concepts and skills.”
If you where to break it down into what makes it work and then build it up through your great examples and great analysis which you’ve shown it would make your blog posts super rock solid.
