Getting Started with Project-Based Learning (Hint: Don't Go Crazy) | Edutopia - 1 views

  • Here are a few tips to consider.
  • Start Small
  • Instead of targeting a million standards, focus on a few power standards.

  • Ensure authenticity and public audience, but keep it focused.
  • As you get begin to master PBL as a teacher, you can then use technology to manage the process. But as a PBL beginner, focus on the PBL process itself.
  • Once you plan it, you're free to differentiate instruction and meet the immediate needs of your students
  • Limited Technology
  • Plan Now One of the challenges of PBL, but also one of the joys, is the planning process.
  • Know the Difference Between PBL and Projects
  • With PBL, the project itself is the learning (1), not the "dessert" at the end. If you are doing projects in the classroom, you may or may not be doing PBL. In fact, many teachers think they are doing PBL, but are actually doing projects. Again, in PBL you are teaching through the project, not teaching and then doing the project.

How to use a Need to Know List - YouTube - 1 views

  •  
    After you've hooked your students on the PBL with a special entry event, and you've done the initial launch of the PBL with the driving question, you then go into gathering the Need to Know List of questions of the students. First, students need to understand what good questions are. (Bloom's is a good starting point). Then they should ask questions about the content, the skills, and the process required in the PBL.

Experts & NewBIEs | Bloggers on Project Based Learning: Get Your Community on Board wit... - 0 views

  • Lay the groundwork. Inform community members about the benefits of PBL. Use your district website or Facebook page to explain how projects prepare students for college and careers. Look for opportunities to have students talk about their projects with the media.
  • Recruit content-area experts. Inquiry is at the heart of PBL, and that means students are constantly asking questions. They often need to consult with content-area experts as part of their investigations. Recruit community members to share their expertise, and think broadly about the different experts you may want to enlist.
  • Recruit community clients. Give community members a close-up look at PBL by recruiting them as project clients.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Offer students as problem-solvers. Encourage community members to share problems or issues that would benefit from student problem solving
  • Open your doors. Invite community members to take part in PBL events, such as end-of-project celebrations and exhibitions of learning. Solicit their feedback as audience members. Chances are, they’ll come away with a new appreciate for how much students learn through PBL.

What Is PBL Really? - 2 views

  • Do you want to engage your students in Project Based Learning (PBL)? Maybe you are asking yourself what is PBL really?  Am I doing it right? Well, first of all, the most important thing to understand is that PBL is a construct made up by human beings and so there are lots of variations!  And you are entitled to construct your own version, too, within some parameters.

Reinventing Project-Based Learning: Essential Question: How did it come to be this way? - 0 views

  • I wonder if instead of personal action projects and awareness campaigns students should practice collective action that has a concrete and measurable result.
  •  
    I love this idea of having the PBL measurable -- not only a PSA, and an action step, but MEASURING the changes in behaviors/beliefs through tangible measurements. (Makes me think about Kirkpatrick)... It also makes me think about how this is a great CommonCore unit too! I would love to see an authentic school-wide (or grade level) PBL. How innovative would that be? While also causing us to behave as a PLC.

PBL Suzie Boss Mon ISTE13 - Google Drive - 1 views

  •  
    Here's my notes from the PBL session from ISTE13.
  •  
    Thanks for sharing! There are some great ideas. I did the Marshmallow Challenge at the beginning of the year. It was a blast. I had a student come in the next day and tell me he had talked about it with his older sister, and the next time, he would have a better plan a build the tallest tower. What? Something happened at school and you went home and talked about it?!

    These are online collaborations (PBL) that we can join. We will use this during Session 8 because Partners in Learning is not allowing us to access our Notebook right now.

Experts & NewBIEs | Bloggers on Project Based Learning: How Does PBL Support Authentic ... - 0 views

  • To incorporate authentic literacy, be sure to answer these questions when you design and implement a project:Does the project include an authentic written product that someone outside the school context would create?Does the project include a written product that meets a real need?Does the project set students up to generate their own questions to frame their investigation into the Driving Question?Does the project enable students to find answers to their questions?Does the project include critique, ideally by an expert or the product recipient?Does the project allow students to present their work to the intended recipient?If you can answer “yes” to these questions, you’ve got it: a fully authentic literary experience for your students.
  • For example, in the Small Acts of Courage project at King Middle School in Portland, Maine, students researched and wrote about local stories of the Civil Rights Movement. In response to the Driving Question, “What was Maine’s contribution the Civil Rights Movement?“, they created a book for a public audience which included people who participated locally in the struggle for civil rights.
  • Learn more about this topic in BIE’s “Webinar Wednesday” on Authentic Literacy, which may be found on BIE's YouTube Channel.
