Discusses the steps to allow for more opportunities for students.

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

Stumbled across this article when I was looking to see if anyone has written on PBL + happenstance learning theory (Bandura)

This study compared 7th and 8th graders' achievement between groups of students who engaged in project-based learning with those who did not. This study is based on Kolb's Experiential Learning Theory, a method of experiential learning that starts with observation and reflections that leads to abstract concepts that lead to new ideas and thinking (Cervantes et al., 2015). The learning cycle, pictured below helps students learn and practice 21st-century learning skills needed for both college and career. The groups that engaged in project-based learning outperformed the groups that did not engage in PBL in both STAAR reading and math tests(Cervantes et al., 2015).

This article from Edutopia, written by Monica Burns, shares the value of having an authentic audience with project- based learning.

This has several PBL lessons for adult/college-age students.

I found this article interesting and worth sharing with the class because it has to do with the benefits of PBL for students with ADHD.

In exploring Edutopia, I found an older youtube video of theirs about how tech alongside pbl is transforming tech and I couldn't help but think, if this felt so transformative 12 years ago, think about just how much more incredible we can make education with all the new technology we have now.

Great article about the importance of implementing PBL projects.
