PBLU is an online social network of educators who continually learn and share how to do Project Based Learning. PBLU provides free online two-week classes and Common Core aligned projects that teachers customize and implement while receiving tips from an experienced PBL facilitator and feedback from the online community. PBLU launches the summer of 2012.

Rubrics for just about everything, including social media projects and many aspects of technology projects

Example of a multigenre project Kathy Broadlick shared with CIA

"The Molecularium seeks to 'excite audiences of all ages to explore and understand the molecular nature of the world around them.' The project's website offers several tools that will be useful to educators. Nanospace, a web-based virtual theme park designed for students between first and eighth grade, utilizes games, activities, and short animations to provide an entertaining learning environment for children to explore the atomic world. In addition, under the Educators tab, teachers will find a Guide to NanoSpace that includes an overview of the games and attractions. Downloadable resources, such as a Teacher's Resource Guide to the Molecularium Project, are also available."

Abundance of resources about multigenre research projects

nice group of tasks for PBL for different grade levels and disciplines

Great idea for either digital or other project. Could be used for end of course, after testing, genius hour

Description of a murder mystery math prolect from Wabash, IN.  Used CCSS and worked with another school.

Teachers could also use something similar for observing students in lab or project activities

Teachthought describes this as "While the site is simple a crudely interactive graphic with links to videos, it has, in one fell swoop, creatively curated some of the most compelling and engaging "problems" in mathematics. From Benford's Law to French Numbers, to whether or not zero is an even number, it frames the content area of math-which is often riddled with rote practice of very traditional arithmetic and formulas-in a problem-based learning kind of approach. Fantastic resource for bell ringers, test questions, math project-based learning ideas, or as a model for students to curate their own curiosities about the incredible-and poorly marketed-world of mathematics."

Great list of activities and resources for student projects with chromebooks. From Naomi Harm and a SimpleK12 webinar

Great site that includes many student-friendly tools, project ideas, and examples.

Join a world-wide blogging project for Feb. 29, 2012

Great session by Hella Rumschlag and Laurie Loughery of Mohawk Trails Elementary.  Their project involved collaborating with schools across the country using various web 2.0 tools

Great project for students to record the books they've read.

Lots of good suggestions.
