Love this! My PBL unit for EdTech 542 is headed in this very direction!

Although this project was created using the old PBL standard the basic components of civic responsibility for second graders can be applied to professional responsibility for respiratory therapy students. The project provides a useful template from which to build my grade and content specific content for improving safety in healthcare. The projects involves: Second graders are ready to conquer the world-and they can start with their community. In Make a Difference: Civic Responsibility, elementary school students partner with local organizations to fill a real need, help a specific population, engage in public service, and make a tangible difference in their neighborhoods and beyond.

A Gardener's Dilemma Project Idea: Students act as community members and set aside plots of land for local citizens to establish small gardens.Students will design a plan for a family garden plot. I will adapt this PBL to include technology, ELA, Science and of course, Mathematics for elementary students. I like that it is a real-world skill, affecting everyone and involves community planning.

In this blog post, a high school teacher reflects on her experience with PBL.

While searching for PBL examples I came across this project that I think will be really useful in designing future PBL's in my Marketing class. It's on designing a magazine cover to attract target audiences!

"PBL Helps Students Develop Skills for Living in a Knowledge-Based, Highly Technological Society"

This article provides another overview of PBL with some research supporting the use of PBL in schools.

"In this new column, Jane L. David shares with readers what research says about the effectiveness of current education reforms."

After reading about PBL I decided I wanted to explore some ideas out there relating to math. I quickly stumbled upon this resource that has six different projects that are all grounded in math. Each project varies in the type of math students would be using and has a link to a more detailed explanation. Anyone interested in math projects should start their search here.

After reading this weeks articles about PBL I decided to look into different projects centered around math. I quickly found this article which lists out six different projects all centered around different fields of math. Anyone interested in reading about math projects should start their search here.

Thanks for sharing this! Math is my passion too and sometimes PBL for math is hard to come by especially for non-statistics topics.

An excellent example of PBL with such a great message for students

A really interesting mini-documentary about a 100% PBL school in Texas. The video goes step-by-step through the PBL implementation process under state standards.

This would make a good starting point for a project I have in mind for my statistics for the social sciences class!
