Chapter 7
A Guiding Hand Keeping a Project Moving

Once the project stated moving, now what's next. The teacher is learning new ideas to improve the students thinking. The students are involved in the process of improving their project. In order to keep the students learning new ideas from PBL what is another learning experience that will encourage the students critical thinking. There were some key points that were informative in PBL. From the classroom discussion are they productive in the students critical thinking or are they just questions on if they are doing their project the correct way. Some level of discussion are significant in PBL. (Chapter 7, Pg. 114-115)

• Teacher to Teacher: What does a teacher do if they have questions on the project they are facilitating in the classroom. The teacher can ask their peers about the project, or they can find some helpful resources from other teacher that are doing a similar concept on the project to get ideas. 
• Student to student: The students need to collaborate on ideas on which person is doing what on the project. The students can collaborate on ideas on what works and what doesn't. The teacher can listen to the students ideas while understanding the challenges of the project. 
• Teacher to student: The teacher can do a whole group discussion on what part of the project is difficult to accomplished based on technological issues. The teacher could even have group discussion to help facilitate learning by inquiring the students thinking. 

When asking questions to figure out the groups collaboration or overall experience what should be expected from the studnets if they are learning through experiences. There are some question that could help the project move along smoothly. What David Fragg (2007) discovered from his project is that the students had questions on the overall experience. David Fragg was able to interpret the students progress on the blog is, "My students tended to want to check every answer with me! This showed that they were not used to independant investigation work." (chapter 7, pg. 117) Students want their teacher to validate their question by saying yes or no. How can you validate the students progress if they don't want to do the work, or if they are ecstatic on doing the project but have never had the chance to work on something and not being able to know if they are doing it correctly or not. Students need to validate their own work from the amount of time, knowledge, skills, teamwork, and overall confidence that their project is heading to a right direction on getting a good grade if applicable.
