GLIDES project



After working on the GLIDES project for a while, I have realized that it can be a wonderful and innovative way to learn. It first allows students investigate about real-world issues and topics that allow them to become more well-rounded. It strongly contrasts with the traditional ways of teaching because it gives students more space to work independently from teachers, but with necessary assistance. Students are required to use critical thinking skills, work cooperatively, understand diverse point of views, and manage their time effectively in order to achieve their goals.
In addition the implementation of modern technology makes it stand out and makes it more interesting for students. Therefore, students become more involved in the project, which helps them retain all the information that it's learned throughout the whole process.
Finally at the end of the project, students are left with new working skills that can help them with future projects that require them to think outside the box and come up with solutions that require more work than usual problems.
