There are two classic concepts of teaching (Phillips & Ochs, 2004), called Prussian way and of teaching, Anglo-Saxon way, usually applied in a mixed form. The Prussian way emphasizes the importance of the lexical knowledge and the one-sided communication. The backbone of this teaching is the lectures and the learning from books. Due to this structure, the classic explicit knowledge element transfer is very effective. The Anglo-Saxon way emphasizes the debates and discussions and the two-sided communication. The core tools are seminars and the teacher is more like a tutor, moderator or facilitator than a classic teacher. Due to this structure, the tacit knowledge element transfer is more effective than in case of the Prussian way of teaching. …show more content…

Ojiako et al (2011) determined two key components: transferable skills and virtual learning. Even in case of classroom training programs, IT and ICT support are expected that means more than using a project management planning software. González-Marcos et al. (2017) introduce a virtual learning environment that allows active participation in a project development and offers the possibility of putting different project management skills into practice. In addition, the environment supports classroom activities, student-management, activity-monitoring, assessment and personal communication. Others deal with similar solutions either for project management teaching or teaching through managing projects (see e.g. Cleary & Marcus-Quinn, 2008; Ashleigh et al., 2012; Nooriafshar, 2013; Eby & Yuzer, 2013). Results in the field denote that availability of IT support is no more a bottleneck of development, just good ideas are …show more content…

transferring knowledge elements from a sender to a recipient. In case of project management, this should encompass both the tacit and explicit knowledge elements.
Sole and Wilson (2002) collected methods expressly for knowledge sharing:
- Storytelling: telling examples for the recipients (mainly in the course of stories),
- Modelling: the sender serves an example for the recipient (like a mentor),
- Simulation: creating an environment where the recipient can try to solve a situation (like a computer game),
- Codified resources: written forms of knowledge elements (like manuals,

IDEA OR PRACTICE BEING USED: The district worked collaboratively with teachers to develop personalized learning for all educators to help with using new technology in their classroom. Educators were given an opportunity to teach learning sessions about something they feel they do well or choose learning sessions relevant to where they were with the ease of using technology using the SAMR model. Teachers could also create a TEPS project that involves exploring an educational project that can improve the classroom, and they earn graduate hours. Domain and Understanding that the ideas addresses: Domain III: Systems for Capacity Building Understanding: 0005 Understand how to use professional development for staff, faculty, and self, to promote lifelong learning and the success of all student

In the article "Virtual Students, Digital Classroom,” by Neil Postman he presents his thoughts about technology in class. Postman comes to the conclusion that high-technology in the classroom won’t solve any of the schools’ issues and will also take over his and other teachers teaching jobs. Computers in the classroom will not help children learn any more than they already know in school, if teachers were replaced computers, students will lose the face to face interaction that can only be with another human, and teachers go to school to learn to teach a specific subject and how to teach that subject to the students. Postman portrays himself to be an intelligence, descriptive and opinionated man. Postman knows a lot when it comes to the subject of technology use in classrooms and he proves it in his in his words.

In the process of completing my Eagle Project, I learned about proper project management by leading groups of teams in completing several smaller steps in order to properly carry out the project. This skill of dividing a larger task into several smaller ones is one that I use when completing projects for school, and everyday during my internship at the National Cancer Institute, dividing my research project into manageable steps in order to properly complete my experiments and further the overall

INTRODUCTION The application of information, expertise, tools, and procedures to project activities to meet the project requirements is known as project management (PMBOK 2008). Alternatively, project management is the process in which projects are well-defined, planned, supervised, organized and conveyed such that the agreed features and requirements are fulfilled (APM BOK 2006). Success of IT projects is very much dependent on providing the anticipated product at the projected time, within budget, its desired performance levels, acknowledged by the client, offering at least the minimum agreed functionality i.e. meeting customer satisfaction, and delivering the promised benefits (Dalcher and Brodie, 2007).

The computer science instructor at Crescent View High School asked you to visit his class and give a presentation about project management. You have just a few days to prepare, and you need to develop a presentation that describes project management tools and techniques. You can be creative, and you might want to include examples of actual projects that you know about. In any case, try to describe how projects are planned, scheduled, monitored, and reported upon. Your presentation should consist of five to seven slides with notes about what you are going to talk about that include the following:

Forty years ago the most advanced game we had was Pong: a game with two rectangles and a dot bouncing around, now forty years after Pong, we got 3D photorealistic games with millions of people playing simultaneously around the globe, which soon will be replaced with virtual reality and augmented reality games specifically made to make simulated environment indistinguishable from our own reality. With this speed of advancement in technology, imagine what a hundred or even a thousand years hold for us, humans. If you and me and every person and any other forms of life in the universe were actually characters in a gigantic computer game, we would not necessarily know it. The hypothesis that reality could be simulated to an extent of which it is indistinguishable from “true” reality—or that we are living in one, is a new hypothesis rising in the wake of technology and game advancement on this computer age.

Stations or centers might be teacher-led if new knowledge is to be given or student-led if mastery is to be obtained on the information given by the teacher. Project-based is another strategy and one of the best ways to differentiate instruction due to the students’ needs and styles are addressed. Projects internalize help and support among students beside some academic skills. Tiered Activities, on the other hand, are based on the learning tasks designed at different levels of complexity according to students’ readiness levels, i.e. to be gradually given to the students ,whenever the student finishes one stage, they transfer to the other one until the task is done, or at times keeping the learning outcomes same the learning tasks can be designed according to students’ learning preferences viz. Learning styles or Gardner’s multiple intelligences.

Knowledge management is a process to ensure that knowledge developed through individuals and group work activities is effectively captured and made available to those who may benefit from it. An example would be to build into project plans the time for review and to identify at the outset how information, knowledge and experience will be captured, stored and shared with other individuals and/or areas of the organisation that may have an interest in the experience and knowledge gained as a result of the project. The importance and value of knowledge management has been brought into sharper focus in the current climate of financial constraint and the need to do more with

Vygotsky mentioned that the “gap” between what learners can do easily and what learners can do with the help of a more knowledgeable other based on his concept of Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD). Thus, the most effective learning takes place when the task given to the learners is a level higher than the learners’ actual knowledge (i+1). Knowledge is best transferred when the teacher co-operates and discuss with the learners. The importance of scaffolding is its contribution to the teacher-learning relationship. It focuses on the role of teacher and learners which are distinct but complementary in the learning context (Gibbons, 2002).

Teaching methods differ in terms of approach which as observed relate more to procedures which influence inner coherence, produce specific educational effects. The traditional approach embodies two, namely: (a) the didactic method, also called the directive or autocratic style, which is based on logo-centrism and an instructor-centred approach. Its focus is the teacher, who explains the logical and practical aspects of the issue or topic; secondly, (b) the dialectic method. In this approach, students are involved in the learning process and are expected to ask questions; thirdly, (c) The heuristic or research method. This method makes students the protagonists of their learning process, since they must find, guided by the instructor, and through research and experimentation, the solutions to the problems.

TRADITIONAL TEACHING METHODS TO TEACH WITHN THE CONTEXT OF HIGHER EDUCATION Teaching methods refers to the general principles, pedagogy and management strategies used to classroom instruction. The choice to teaching methods depends on what fits educational philosophy, classroom demographic, subject area and school mission statement. The teaching theories can be arrangement into four categories and based on two major parameters- a teacher centred approach versus and a student –centred approach, and high tech material use versus low-tech material use. TEACHER-CENTRED APPROACH TO LEARNING Taken to its most extreme interpretation, teachers are the main figure in a teacher-centred instruction model.
