Reiser Article Question

The examples of the Integrated Final Projects and the methods described in the Reiser article are related in several ways. First, they both focus on hands on learning. The activities target many learning styles. Also, both the Final projects and TEAMS Model put students in pairs so that they can learn together about different concepts and participate in activities together. The integrated Final Projects and the methods in the Reiser article also identify relationships across subject areas. This is wonderful because it shows real life relevancy of the subjects taught and how curriculum in school prepares students for real life analysis, and problem solving.
To be able to teach in the above mentioned way would take major commitment on the part of the educator. Not only is it extremely time intensive, due to collaboration and meetings throughout the school year and summer but it is also expensive. I know of no school in Utah that has 4 computers in a High School classroom. Does that mean it's impossible? No! Challenging- Yes! Is it worthwhile? Absolutely! I think that this type of teaching captures the interest of the students in amazing ways and I believe that the concepts taught would stick better! I like the idea and would be will to try it in my classroom!
