No Get Jam Up...

Below I have some reflections on what we did today. I advise all of you students to write a journal in your planner everyday as well as log your hours in your planner as well.

We should have ha'aha'a. We should be proud about our work to raise kalo, but we should never brag about it. In Uncle Cal's words, if we brag about our kalo "goin jam us up." And he also said that we should never brag about anything in life otherwise we face the same fate: "going get jam up"

Please prepare to go to the library tomorrow morning to do research. I expect to see your plan to research in order for you to go to the library. Feel free to go to library even after school.

Basic Steps of doing Projects

Aloha,

Hope you all had a great Turkey Day. I am truly thankful for my family and friends and the opportunity to advise each of you in your progression to becoming strong members of our society.

The following are basic steps to project work at Hakipu'u Learning Center. Please make comments to further enhance our learning process.

1. Get an idea / Look at Standards, then pick 2 to 3 from different areas that you like

2. Draft Essential Question and Driving Question. *Essential Question is one over-arching question and there are many Driving Questions or sub-questions that help to move the project along. If needed, initial research can be done to formulate correct ideas of the proposed project.

--- Can you add more ideas to finish our process???? Please add them in the comments section.

What I have learned...

Aloha Kakou,
I have been learning so much while being here at HLC. While having 4 post evals, 3 of which for our 'ohana, I have learned the following:

-Each of our students is capable of great work
-Saying " Oh its on the computer," during a pre or post evaluation meeting is not a good thing.
-Not having a complete and accurate time log is lethal.
-We need to have more evidence of work shown and placed in binders.
-Everyone needs to take notes and keep it in their binders.
-Losing project binders is not good.
-Reflections should be done before the post-eval.
-Journaling works as evidence of learning and should be in project binders.
-Students should always come to class, pre/post evals and other mtgs with a pen, a highlighter, a notebook or paper, plans to apply what is learned.
-Just saying "phase 3" for a 2 hour block time does not fly. We need to be more specific.
-We must be aware of the differences between an .odt, .docx, and .doc file types.
-Often we overlook details.
-We always need to look back at our webs and other documents and commitments.
-When doing our credit hours we need to show proof or evidence of learning.
-Project based learning helps students compete against themselves, instead of against each other.
-PBL also gives the student the mindsets of "How can I help?" and "What can I learn?"

These are a few things I learned...What are some things that you have learned? Please share your HLC or PBL thoughts by making a comment.

Aloha,
Kumu Feki
