Three ways to use projects in Small Schools -- What are these ways?

Welcome to our blog about Projects.
You can start to learn about the value of projects by watching Matt Blazek's video.  

You can also learn more about small schools.  Watch this video below and text me three ways that small schools give benefits:  (954) 646 8246 TEXT

Projects allow students to follow their interests

Projects let teachers introduce new information

Projects let parents participate and guide the teacher (parents often know more than the student about the student's strengths)

Schools like Big Picture schools (MetCenter.org) and High Tech High in California ask students to "stand and deliver" talks about the progress of the projects.  "Stand and Deliver" is a way to practice speaking.

Students can also make videos to show their progress. HOW TO MAKE VIDEOS
(a) Shy students can stand behind the camera and show the projects
(b) Confident students can stand in front of the camera
Some parents are worried about the privacy of their children.  You can protect your privacy by making the video "Unlisted" on Youtube and then only people with the link can see the result.

Projects can be helpful for building confidence and for showing "THIS IS WHAT I HAVE LEARNED."  Students can put their best effort into a project and they can create a project over several weeks.  An exam might not ask questions about what a student knows.
A student might be ill or might not have slept well before an exam.
A project allows your best effort to be on display.
