Digital Age PBL

Assistments study data.

Perfect timing for this week. I also joined the QFT site that is linked in this article. It has some great videos for helping teachers implement good questioning in her/his classroom.

An alternative 6 to the bie 8 essential elements of PBL.

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

This article changed my thinking...and therefore my classroom...to make me a PBL believer. I reread it often!

Google for Education: Training Center

"Emily Pilloton: Teaching design for change"

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

Anyone else interested in blended learning? This site does a great job explaining how to effectively incorporate PBL in a blended or online learning atmosphere.

My oldest 2 and soon 3 students attend a local magnet school that is part of the New Tech Network. I've been so grateful for PBL education for my students. It's not always perfect, but they've created some amazing projects and they've had a superior education to mine in terms of preparation for later life. When you put on a conference for mental health professions as a sophomore class, or create and entire interactive WWI exhibit for the community that made me cry, or try to convince real lawyers that you have enough evidence for a hearing to prosecute your ficitional suspect, you are doing some hard, fun learning!

I'm always in search of math projects. I really liked this idea because it incorporates a lot of art and media which can be strengths for students. I like to find projects that allow different students to shine.

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.

This project involves local history and working with a local museum--which provides opportunity for authenticity (real world-research and a local context) and a public product.
