Try truncating the url to see if there are clues about authorship or links to an author on other pages--remove the end of the address back to a significant break ( / ) or the root of the site. If the site provides links to 'about us' or 'contact us,' check there for author information. If the site provides a search engine, enter the name of the article and see if information about the author is retrieved. This may require careful reading. Search a different site. Enter information about the article in search engines like Google and see if any information about the author is retrieved. This may require careful reading.

Project Based Learning Step by Step Creation Guide - 2 views

  • Learn how to Design your Project. Plan rigorous and relevant standards-focused projects that engage students in authentic learning activities, teach 21st century skills, and demand demonstration of mastery.
  •  
    This is a site that provides step-by-step guidance on creating project-based learning units. It not only gives the rationale behind PBL as a unit design model, but also guides the user through each step of the creation process. It appears to be very easy to use, and provides information at each step that ensures a quality product. In addition to the very clear steps to take, as well as the 'theory' behind each step, there are numerous examples of completed PBL projects to view. I will use this site myself, as I really like the idea of redesigning portions of my instruction using this model. I will also direct teachers to it when we are discussing teaching strategies and instructional design models that are compatible with how the brain learns. The "briefs" and the literature reviews for each of the Characteristics of Effective Instruction (within the Iowa Core) contain numerous references to project/problem- based learning as an instructional design model that matches the vision of the Iowa Core.

  • "It's What's on the Inside That Counts!"
  • I am currently running a group for children with a loved one in jail. One of the activities I have facilitated with my group is the kiwi lesson.  The kiwi lesson can be used to address many different topics including stigma, shame, diversity, tolerance, body image, and more.  This lesson is fun and engaging. It worked especially well in the context of this group.

      Great lesson to use with a small group. Author uses for kids with parent in jail.

    I am always looking for ways to engage my students about guidance topics. I am looking for "real" conversation with them as opposed to hearing the answers they think you want to hear. The kiwi lesson described is one of those lessons that will provoke responses that are real.
