Seven Essential for Project Based Learning
    The seven essential for project based learning is: A Need to Know, A driven question, Student Voice and Choice, 21st Century Skills, Inquiry and Innovation, Feedback and Revision, and A Publicity Product.
A Need To Know- As teachers, we can influence student's content by lunching a project with a "entry event"that gain interest and initiating questioning.
A driven Question- A good driven question capture the heart of  project which gives students a sense of purpose or challenge.
Student Voice and Choice- This element of project base learning is the key of making a project that is meaningful to students and give them a chance to voice their opinions.
21st Century Skills- A project should give students to build 21st century skills and collaboration, communication, collaboration, and the use of technology.
Inquiry and Innovation- Student's find project base learning more meaningful if they conduct real inquiry. Which does not mean finding information in books or websites and pasting it onto a poster. In real inquiry, students follow a trail that begins with their own questions, leads to a search for resources and the discovery of answers, and often ultimately leads to generating new questions, testing ideas, and drawing their own conclusions.
A Publicity Product- Schoolwork is more meaningful when it's not done only for the teacher or the test. When students present their work to a real audience, they care more about its quality.

Project Base Learning for teacher
    In this video, we are given sever different examples of driven question and how we can use them in the classroom. Students and as well as teacher's have many different resources that that have available to them. This video show different types of skill and learning techniques that they will use in different projects. As teachers, we should not teach but set ground rules for each lesson they learn.

Project Based Learning for Physical Education
    Reading this article this is a great example of project based learning, Reading this article it explains how the student's are able to come up with their own fitness routine to be able to involve their friends so they will be able yo get involved. I think this is a great article. because it will give students of sense of what great routines and fitness strategies that would be good for their body so they they can stay healthy in the long run.

Ketchup Bottle Case
    This was a very interesting engaging video that I saw, I like how the student's came up with a problem about ketchup and was actually really to solve it. Even though, it was most difficult with the project that they came up with, they still was manage to solve it together. They was able to prove to the teacher's and student's that this was a great example of PBL and how you can use in anywhere. 

What motivates students
    In this video is from many different student's in this video. I like this video, because the student's explain what motivates them in school and how they will be able to achieve their goals in future life. One student stated what motivates him is his teacher and how she praise him for good work and the different accomplishment he has made in the classroom. The student states that make's him feel real good and motivated. If the student's does good in the classroom they will be rewarded with candy or they will be able to go out side and walk around (recess). This was the best video I have viewed so far.
