"Cult of Pedagogy" is a website and a place for teachers to unite and explore ideas together through a blog, podcast, and posts. The main page goes into detail about what Project Based Learning entails. This website uses the analogy "project based learning, the content is baked inside of a long-term project, a real-world problem students need to solve in a creative and authentic way. In the process of solving the problem, students also meet required standards, but this work is integrated into the project, not separate from it". This is a key component in understanding PBL because it is more than just solving a basic math problem. The really cool thing about this website is that it connects the viewer to a podcast called "Cult of Pedagogy". Teacher's can listen to this broadcast to get ideas about teaching and PBL. There is also a tab for teaching materials. The materials included are e-book template, google drive basics, and icebreakers that all educators can utilize when implementing Project Based Learning into their classroom. Overall, this is a great tool created by an educator for all.
