PROS:
- Encourages peer teaching.
- Multidisciplinary
- Demonstrates Grasping of Concepts
As for the teacher/student impact, I think that this sort of assignment has many advantages in a multidisciplinary approach as well as in a single subject. This project demonstrated skills in math, science, english, and technology. I understand that this project was used primarily in a math class. This works as well if all of the students that are working on the project are knowledgeable in the content. From my understanding the students are in groups for different concepts in math. Each group designs this sort of project and the group then is responsible for helping their peers who are struggling in the area that they are now experts. The video and peer teaching can be utilized to ensure total student success.
