Digital Age PBL

This project was one of several similar projects that gave me an idea for the PBL that I want to develop.

I was excited to see that the topic of PBL in nursing education is already being practiced and encouraged!

A list of possible student outcomes for a PBL unit. Teacher can use this list to pick which outcomes they wish to focus on in each unit.

A collection of curricular units that tie science concepts to engineering design challenges

PBL works has a very nice site, but they are much more interested in middle and elementary school, than high school. I like Teach Engineering. I look a PBL class this school year from a company that creates PBL units and even they are really light on chemistry and physics for upper grades.

English Language Learners (ELL) are becoming more widespread in classrooms ranging from K-12 to higher education. When utilizing PBL in an ELL classroom how can we as educators design projects to not only support language learning but also engage students?

PBL experiences typically take place in a physical environment, where students can collaborate together and the facilitator can monitor project progress. However, currently, there are many classrooms that aren't in a classroom at all. Teachers are suddenly shifting toward virtual and online modes. So, how do we do PBL in a distance learning environment?

Building a PBL Environment: 5 Tools to Support Project Based Learning and the Future of Work

Very timely... The author explains how using projects during distance learning can ease the stress of time restraints and parent involvement. Several different project suggestions are explained and a parenting how-to encourages their children to be successful with PBL during distance learning is explained.

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

This "How-To Tips and Tools" article by Sara Lev struck me because it demonstrates how PBL can fit any age, even four- and five-year-olds. Her point was that the "driving question" can come from listening to the students and helping them formulate what they want to do in their terms.

This article succinctly points out why PBL can be so difficult to initiate into a school system. The author notes that our educational systems reward obedience over innovation. Worth thinking about how that can be changed.

Discusses the steps to allow for more opportunities for students.

As a social studies teacher, I appreciate the help that this website provides.

Here's a great example of how PBL can be incorporated in social studies.
