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.

    EtherPad is a web-based word processor that is an alternative to GoogleDocs when you don't need the complexity of having accounts, permissions, etc. A free public etherpad is shared with others by sending out the URL. Any one can access, edit, etc. just from the URL. I have found this tool very useful in collaborative meetings/planning sessions as a way to quickly draft and edit work collaboratively.

    This website has research-based practices and translates it into practical tools to improve classroom instruction. You can learn what works, understand the research, see what works, see it actually in action many times in the classroom through video, and do what works, download tools that can support the work. This is an awesome sight for educators! This site has many things that teachers could use to learn about and hone in on their instructional practices. It is a great springboard for learning and then using some web 2.0 tools to provide opportunities to collaborate with teachers either within their districts or in other districts would be a powerful learning tool.

Web Quest Maker - 1 views

  • A Web Quest is a method used to engage students in inquiry based learning. A web quest is meant to guide students through a process of inquiry through a set of assigned tasks that lead them to a conclusion, or that results in a product.
  •  
    Web quest generator allows teachers to create their own webquest tailored a specific lesson. I often use pre-made quests, but see a value in making my own to complement a lesson and emphasize components of that lesson that I feel my students need most.

Presentations - 0 views

  • "PowerPoint is a high-powered software tool used for presenting information in a dynamic slide show format. Text, charts, graphs, sound effects and video are just some of the elements PowerPoint can incorporate into your presentations with ease. Whether it's a classroom lesson, a parents' group meeting, a teachers' seminar or an unattended kiosk at the Science Fair - PowerPoint shows you how to make a powerful impression on your audience."
  • Teachers can use presentation software to create and organize effective presentations for small groups, entire classes, and web-based viewing. PowerPoint presentations may contain graphics, digital photos, animations and sound.
  • Students may use presentation software to create presentations that demonstrate what they have learned in a given subject area or to showcase the findings of a research assignment. Presentations are also ideal for capturing the learning process over a period of time. Further, if students can capture the steps of their learning through digital photography, these types of images can be used in a slide show as well.
