I appreciate the time Hewes takes here to review the literature relating not just to PBL but also the English classroom. Though it's in Australia, I think it's more than applicable to American classrooms and look forward to the results of the study. The primary focus appears to be the use of technology for PBL in the English classroom, since English teachers are now becoming teachers of multiple literacies.

Great example of using PBL in the English classroom. I can use this idea to teach Merchant of Venice to my Honors Students

Nice reference. I have bookmarked this, so I can consult it in the future. Thanks!

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

"These tools deliver a wide array of functionality, from communication to collaborative document editing, whiteboards, and gaming, to full Learning Management System capabilities. There's something here for everyone! Dig in and enjoy!"

Really great article with lots of links to some wonderful ideas

Clear, concise - lists the traits and gives active examples in a PBL unit/classroom

Good blog with some interesting insight about peer reviews.

Excellent case study about teachers implementing PBL in their classrooms. Introduces project-based learning and goes through the process and even the teacher's thoughts about PBL afterwords.

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.
