      Project Based Learning (PBL) is a form of learning in which students engage in authentic tasks that extend beyond the classroom. Students will be actively engaged in their own learning by asking questions and making the important choices that address a driving question-or-the why of the project. Teachers' role change from 'lecturer' to 'facilitator'. Students work in groups and use creative problem solving to overcome challenges and to master the key curriculum-related goals. Teachers support and coach the groups and ensure individuals are able to produce high quality work. Students may have a culminating that task that typically includes an audience of people that are from outside the the classroom. PBL is not suited to all learning situations; key questions to consider include: - does the curriculum expectations call for demonstration, application, performance or understanding? - is there a way to capitalize on opportunities in the community with PBL? - is there enough time/resources? - can expectations, skills, and habits of mind be prioritized and sequenced so that the project is doable? - can all students be supported to produce high-quality work? High quality PBL includes the Six A's - Authenticity - Academic Rigor - Adult Connections - Active Exploration - Applied Learning - Assessment Practices

    This article tries to answer the questions "What kinds of products should we consider having our students construct as a result of PBL and what factors should we consider as we design project tasks. " Some examples of artifacts would be: physical model, theory, multimedia project, Web site, video or radio program, lesson for younger learners, computer program, robot, or hypermedia. Whatever the end product, it is in the process of construction that their knowledge is forming and it is in the design phase that "learners construct their initial understandings." The product should come about through these 4 things: * an extended time frame (a few weeks to an entire year), the goal is deeper understanding and this takes time * collaboration, this will enhance the learning process * inquiry/investigation/research, this an active search for explanations * and a consequential task. The end task is considered by the article as just a ploy to trap students into thinking deeply. The article also gives examples of successful artefacts. One was a geometry project where students had to design a case to carry 18 cans. They needed to use their school mascot in the design (cowboys) and consider marketing, geometric factors, as well as write a persuasive letter to sell the product. They also talked about a web page where women were interviewed about their experiences during the second world war. They learned not only about that time in history, but about interviewing and listening skills.

    I launched my knowledge of PBL via this website. They offered free, online courses on this topic. They have numerous pre-constructed plans available to facilitate learning how to run PBL in the classroom.

    13 page research based guide on Brain-Based Learning to increase attention and retention. Included is a very good reading list and strong resource links, a PBL activity on Building a Brain Owner's Manual with students. Surprise and Novelty as effective attention grabber. The links throughout the guide seem very relevant and interesting.

      ARGH! I cannot highlight in this format; this is my favourite tool in Diigo. Will have to use notes throughout instead.

      Constructivism vs. knowledge building. Knowledge building as variation of constructivism. Inconsistent use of the term (no clear definition).

      "constructivism that recognizes all  kinds of intellectual products as human constructions: theories, algorithms, proofs, designs, plans, analogies, and on and on." (pg 4). This really jives with my thinking: I have concluded (over time and much learning, observation) that EVERYTHING is a construct. I firmly believe in nurture over nature as a determinant in so many aspects of human development.
