This article explains the characteristics of PBL.

This article by Melinda Kolk, supports the same argument about the value an authentic audience can have on learning as the Monica Burns article. What I liked about Kolk's thinking that was different, was the idea of a flexible audience. Different groups may have different audiences based on the information and stakeholders the groups choose. Kolks also stressed the need for not just authentic audiences, but for authentic and real-world problems, which might influence who the audience is. The article suggests focusing on ideas that matter, work that matters, and effort that matters (Move from Projects to Project-Based Learning, 2022).

This is a great article about conducting professional development workshops for teachers through PBL. Too often, as the article notes, professional development is delivered through direct instruction, but then those who put on the PD expect teachers to do things different in their own classrooms. PD specialists must model what they expect their students - which happen to be teachers - to do in their own classrooms.

This article is old (1971) but from a foundational theorist in PBL. He discusses using projects to teach students to be mathematicians rather than just teaching or failing to teach them math. Link on Boise site: http://www.tandfonline.com.libproxy.boisestate.edu/doi/pdf/10.1080/0020739700030306

Lots of articles about how STEM can positively impact students.

Interesting article.

Interesting article about and App called ClassDojo. It's simple to use and effective.

A good collection of articles on implementing project-based learning

Really great article with lots of links to some wonderful ideas

I had the opportunity to go to a "PBL festival" at Trigg County, KY last year. This is a short newspaper article that shows that they are researching real world problems in their very own community.

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.

Ways to ensure that PBL is effective

A great starting read into PBL that aligns nicely with BIE (authors are from the BIE). The example outlined is relatable!

Great article! Helps teachers focus on what project-based learning really means.

Great article about how PBL can be implemented into a kindergarten classroom. Younger students can benefit from PBL too.

Article that discusses ideas for entry events for PBL projects, as well as why having an engaging entry event is important for launching your project and gaining student interest.

John Larmer Editor in Chief at the Buck Institute for Education At the Buck Institute for Education (BIE), we've been keeping a list of the many types of "_____- based learning" we've run across over the years: Case-based learning Challenge-based learning Community-based learning Design-based learning Game-based learning Inquiry-based learning Land-based learning Passion-based learning Place-based learning Problem-based learning Proficiency-based learning Service-based learning Studio-based learning Team-based learning Work-based learning .

This post on Edutopia does a nice job explaining differences between project and problem based learning.

I found this article to be helpful when defining the differences between Project- Based Learning and Problem- Based Learning.

As a social studies teacher, I found this article very helpful. It was really interesting to read the breakdown of the project. There is a lot of frontloading and scaffolded steps to get the students ready to start the projects.

Science professional development focus on IBL. I found this article interesting at how closely related IBL abd PBL are.
