United for peace film festival 2015

United for Peace Film Festival was launched with the hope that young people in Japan will be aware of the International Peace Day (September 21), which is established by the United Nations. This year marks the fifth year of the program.

Every time I attend an event, I meet many new people, and I believe that just by participating in the event, I have the opportunity to take a step forward to become a global talent.

We’ll see you at the event!

Day: 21 September 2015 (fire)

PBL Contest BBCOACH PROJECT will be held again this year!

BBCoach Project is looking for participants, participating schools and learning coaches!

The Project Based Learning Web Contest has been running since 2003.
The program provides an environment that fosters independent learners who will be able to thrive in society through collaboration with learning coaches and other members of society.

We have received participation from junior high schools, high schools, universities, NPOs, and free schools.
More and more students are taking advantage of this experience to go on to higher education.

This contest is not limited to educational settings, but is open to working adults as learning coaches, high school students and older, and adults.

It is a place where you can interact with different generations, form a community connected to the wider society, and support the development of creators. We look forward to your support.

It is a learning environment where students can challenge their own self-expression on the Internet with free ideas.

[特徴]

It is also a project-based learning contest where you can naturally learn about goal setting, role assignment, communication, teamwork, and the importance of records by working on a project within the SNS community.
It also serves as a training ground for learning coaches to support the new learning environment.
The content is up to the participants, from game production to video production.
However, it is important that the content can be reproduced on any model and that it is universal design-conscious.
It is a learning environment where project-based learning is practiced.
You’ll get better ratings when you participate as a team than when you participate as an individual.
If you participate while connecting and communicating over the internet, your reputation will be higher.
They will be evaluated on how well they can keep a record.
As a learning coach, a wide range of social supporters have joined us on the net.
Teams that connect with college students and working adults will be appreciated.
It can be used in school classes, or it can be attended by people who are not in school.
(Anyone who belongs to a free school or an organization that is not recognized as a school is welcome to participate.

Putting video production into practice as a PBL – First, PM training

On Saturday, May 10th, 2014 from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm, we started to provide a PBL environment for video production at Abiko Nikaido High School.

This is an attempt to support the students’ video production activities throughout the year.

We will create an environment in which the entire project is viewed as project-based learning.

In the first session, we requested the cooperation of the NPO Project Management Incubation Association to conduct project management training to enrich team activities.

Of course, a self-evaluation sheet is also obtained as data before the training.

It was a four-hour long workshop, but I was impressed by how focused they were. It looked like it was going to work.
