After having identified my class Group for this Collaborative Mini-PBL project, GMail addresses of other team
members (C1-Collaboration) were obtained and messages (C2- Communication) were exchanged, on (1) how to
accomplish our assigned task, (2 ) who will work on which part of the task, and (3) which content and critical
questions and point of clarifications needed further attention, editing and final copy submitted.
(4) The completed outcome – Digital Poster - was created using MS Power Point, entitled – “Helping Student
Become 4-C’s Learners”. (5) The final product of this mini-problem-based-learning (PBL) was submitted in M.S.
Power Point presentation as a group assignment; and lastly (6) A Group On-Line Evaluation was completed by
each team member and was individually submitted using Moodle’s Mini-PBL Group Evaluation On-Line Survey.
▪ This “Mini-PBL” project was created as a required assignment of my SP18/ET605.W01 class the LOYOLA,
to demonstrate how to collaborate (C1) and communicate (C2) in an assigned group, on-line, using available
technology tools, as an application of the newly learned concepts and educational technology tools;
▪ Hang-out, Skype, Emails, and Teleconferencing can substitute and modify (SAMR framework) for process
of achieving the group’s goal, in a virtual conference setting. These tools are great to use when important
educational meetings and conferences with students, teachers and parents, such as an IEP meeting, Parent-
Student Progress updates, etc.
▪ This Mini-PBL project, entitled – “Helping Students Become 4-C’s Learners” was intended to be shared to
teachers during one of the school’s professional developments.
