  • Project-based learning is not without its difficulties for both students and teachers. Technology can be employed to support the learning efforts of both students and teachers as they work on their projects.
  • Teachers are concerned about motivation as well as technical issues of thinking and learning.
  • teacher must be concerned with motivation, because this motivational energy will help students processed in the face of challenging lesson material

  • Researchers have found substantial evidence that focusing on relatively long term problems that require meaningful engagement with challenging subjects that integrate ideas from a number of diverse disciplines in which is supported by practical and useful technology can help overcome many classroom challenges and prepare students for practical and relevant skills for the future.
  • Problem-based learning at once allows groups of students to collaborate, to apply themselves in real-world challenges that demonstrate the relevance of the material, explore and integrate information from across multiple domains and allow the teacher to adopt the role of facilitator and co-learner rather than as the single point of expertise in the classroom.
  • In this framework, teachers are well employed as a master craftsman who provide just enough scaffolding in order to ensure students can remain on task and productive rather than floundering without guidance.

    ShowMe is an open online learning community where anyone can learn and teach any topic. The iPad app lets you easily create and share video lessons. Chicago Public Schools iPad pilot program teachers use it as formative assessment for daily math problems. Younger grades could use it one on one with parents or any grade to demo how to solve a problem and post it to a blog/tweet it, etc.

    Great PBL idea database for all grade levels. Each project is presented in the form of a "challenge" and teachers and learners are encouraged to collaborate on and with the website.

    An amazing analysis of the Khan vs. Wolfram approach to math instruction in the US. What is our approach to math instruction- direct teacher led vs. student centered inquiry based learning? How do each of these two gentlemen approach math instruction are they opposing or complementary?

    Create your own iPad app with this site. You can upload images, videos, text, and links- from what I can tell it likes a nice way to place content on the ipad in the form of an app.

PBL after school professional learning

shared by Kip Holland-Anderson on 05 Aug 11 - No Cached
  • A new movement is underway to encourage PBL during summer vacations and after-school hours.
  • gives youth new opportunities to become leaders, thinkers, and problem-solvers
  • One team of teens spent this summer planning a carnival for neighborhood children as a strategy to raise funds and visibility for a nonprofit cause they care about: supporting youth in foster care. In another program, children have put their passion for the Earth to work by writing a play they are producing that teaches about environmental issues.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Shifting from after-school activities to authentic projects challenges after-school staff to rethink how they work with youth (just as classroom teachers have to do when they start down the PBL path). Projects are likely to be different from “the way we’ve always done things,” and change can be challenging.
  • ongoing professional development has been the best way to address the challenges that come with implementing PBL
  • You for Youth was unveiled last week
  • You for Youth includes four online courses, one of which focuses specifically on PBL.

    Supports the idea that with iPads in hand, learning can be 24/7 for students.
