The projects profiled here are full-figured creations by teams of teachers at schools whose cultures and schedules support grand ideas. Take a deep breath -- it didn't happen in one big swoop.
Article on how to plan the PBL process in a classroom/school/district. I think this article is useful for any educator hesitant about the project-based learning approach. It's a lot of time and work, and then a struggle with how it is assessed. In my personal experience, project-based learning makes for an amazing classroom, but there is a lot of work done on the front-end to get students to buy-in to this model, and then to work within this model.
What authority died and made Mr. young the all knowing mind reader? Perhaps some MIT professors have perfected their well loved lectures. There's no space for any reality but that of Mr. Young here. Sad article.
wow. H bomb! I have little respect for the H school of Ed if they are putting their name on a report that makes repeat broad assumptions and insults of teachers.
sample blog from one of those 13% .... OMG for all the students who missed class bcause u were up playing video games.... Your BFF is this blog. In class we talked about our next class where we will use after life to learn better. No way will this professor get labled a hold out. see this killer chart tinyurl.com/youngpie1
Mr. Jones insults teachers heavily here. He writes like many who profit from and push technology. Note his misogynistic use of "handmaiden" in his fitting conclusion.

The same can be said of...higher education institutions that prepare new educators"
OMG. This insults teachers, as if they use folk ( aka myth ) to teach. And what's the motive of Jeff to quote him? Rebuttal to this bad joke: Perhaps we would have folk in the operating room if we paid doctors like teachers, not to mention giving them 35 surgeries in a 45 bell period.
Impressive site to connect people in a collaborative work/social setting. It essentially lets you setup a private network of users in an interface inspired by facebook, youtube, and yahoo answers. I'm curious to know if any schools or classrooms have tried it out-
