      This is a one stop for PBL!!
  • Project-Based Learning: Explained. (03:50) First, let's get the basics out of the way. This video is a great tool for when you just need to describe PBL in four minutes. Created by the Buck Institute for Education (BIE) -- a one-stop resource for PBL tools.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • ating Essential Questions (07:01) Coming up with an essential question (also called a guiding or driving question) is one of the first key steps in designing a project. For a fun tool to help craft effective driving questions, check out BIE's "tubric."
  • BIE's Project Planner Tutorial (02:02) BIE offers a powerul and simple online tool, the Project Planner, for organizing your ideas while putting together a project. You must sign up for a free account, but you can save and print your work to your profile.
  • Tips For Building Projects (06:17) The audio is a little low on this teacher-produced screen-capture video, but it does a great job outlining the basics things you should be thinking about in your initial project planning stages.
  • Think Forward: Assessment (07:26) Assessment for project-based learning requires a more comprehensive approach. The poor audio quality is worth it, to hear real teachers describe exactly how they assess for learning throughout a project. From Manor New Tech High School's Think Forward PBL Institute.
  • roblem-Based Learning for the 21st Century Classroom (05:22) This nice overview from ASCD goes into some of the obstacles to project-based learning, and then shows teachers sharing strategies for addressing those challenges.
  • cheduling for Project-Based Learning (05:35) Three high school teachers talk about how they re-structured their day to accommodate integrated PBL. Not everyone has the flexibility shown here, but it's fascinating to see how these teachers broke it down.
  • How PBLU Works (01:15) Hungry for more lessons on PBL? PBLU is an incredible resource offered by BIE. See how you can access two-week training courses and Common-Core-aligned projects that you can modify and customize.

    This will give you all the resources needed to get you started in PBL... If you're interested read the links at the bottom to further your understanding...

Great Resources to Teach Students about Plagiarism and Citation Styles ~ Educational Te... - 4 views

  •  
    "One of my favourite sources for information and guidelines regarding referencing and citation styles is the Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL). I have heard several professors (in the humanities, at least) recommend it to graduate students. But there are also several other resources student researchers and academics can draw on to hone in their research writing skills. This page from Plagiarism.org features a plethora of excellent materials and citation sources that are all available online or in the form of PDF documents , free to download and use. "
  •  
    Thanks, Justin! This is really helpful. I refer students to the OWL at Purdue all the time. It seems to work better for them than our old-fashioned library handouts, or referring them to their style guides.
  •  
    This is a great tool, Justin. Thanks for sharing it. I will forward this as a recommendation for the LC website at my school. This is a great tool for students & teachers to use as part of the ongoing conversation about plagiarism.

Learning Theories - 2 views

  •  
    To help you learn and refresh your memory about some of the leading learning theories in educational literature, we are sharing with you this excellent resource from Instructional Design that features over 50 learning theories. Each theory comes with a short definition, a section on how it is applied, few examples illustrating the use of the theory, and a final section with resources and references to learn more about the theory in question.
  •  
    Instructionaldesign.org is a gold mine! I appreciate the consistent comparative layout for each theory, and that I can look directly to the Principles. Beyond the learning theories, have a look at the "Bad Error Message" section if you fancy a wee laugh. http://www.instructionaldesign.org/bad_error_messages.html

The Teacher's Guide To Twitter | Edudemic - 0 views

  • Twitter has proven itself to be an indispensable tool for educators around the globe. Whatever skill level you may be, Twitter is downright fun and worth your time.
  • For many teachers making a foray into the edtech world, Twitter is an excellent tool for consuming and learning.
  • Many are also harnessing Twitter as a part of their PLN (personal learning network) to connect, share, and network.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • The best way to get the most out of Twitter is to use it.
  • When you’re just getting started on Twitter (or perhaps trying to add to or refine your feed), a resource for educational hashtags or guides to great accounts to follow are excellent resources to point you in the right direction.
  • If you always find interesting things on Twitter, such as lesson plans, don’t forget to share your awesome resources, too.
  • Just like going to the gym once every two weeks isn’t going to keep you in peak physical condition, participating in Twitter #hashtag chats and interacting only occasionally isn’t going to make your Twitter community very robust.
  •  
    Something to get teachers into Twitter as a means to seek personalized professional growth.
