Personalized PBL: Student-Designed Learning | Edutopia - 0 views

  •  
    "I wrote a blog about one of the pitfalls of personalization for the ASCD Whole Child Blog. Specifically, that pitfall is the lack of engagement. With all the focus on personalization through time, pacing, and place, it can be easy to forget about the importance of engagement. No matter where students learn, when they learn, and the timing of the learning, engagement drives them to learn. When we factor all the pieces of personalization together, we can truly meet students where they are and set them on a path of learning that truly meets their needs and desires. Project-based learning can be an effective engagement framework to engage students in personalized learning."

      As important, give them a reason to care. Earlier you say "We need to help them see why they should be engaged" that feeling why we should is hard to transmit, so instead we need to inspire, make them feel compelled to investigate and learn. 
  • Second, we spoon feed our students too much.

      Authors of "Engaging Minds" recommend designing learning experiences that provide "liberating constraints"-- that is, situations with optimal structure AND ambiguity, that cause the student to question, interpret and customize their investigation and arrive at something significant and personally meaningful.

      Getting kids to see "why they should be engaged" is hard-- We need to set up the conditions where they feel compelled to learn. Starting the course of study with an engaging entry event can ignite that need to know. BIE arranges their PBL units around this idea-- Entry event + Driving Question are the set up, from there kids take the ball and run.

      Yep! This is risky for a lot of teachers. Their inclination is to intervene when things get messy. It's tempting but better to support kids through their struggle rather than remove the struggle.

6 Online Project Based Learning Resources for Science and Math - 27 views

  •  
    When students are engaged in learning science or math which is personal to them (real world problem solving), they become more engaged in the learning process. Project based learning situations in science and math increase opportunity for students to internalize and make connections.

Stimulating Critical Thinking through a Technological Lens - 19 views

  •  
    Stimulating critical thinking using technology has the potential to create more in depth understanding of science and math content by students when engaged in learning activities which integrate in-class and on-line technology resources. Technology tools support stimulation of both inquiry-based and critical thinking skills by engaging students in exploring, thinking, reading, writing, researching, inventing, problem-solving, and experiencing the world outside their classroom. This is accomplished through learning content through the lens of video to multimedia to the internet (Using Technology to Improve Student Achievement, NCREL, 2005).

4 Keys To Designing A Project-Based Learning Classroom - - 0 views

  •  
    "Traditional American classrooms tend to fit a particular mold: Students face the front of the class where teachers lecture. Students take notes, finish assignments at home, and hope to memorize enough information just long enough to pass a test. Engagement and passion are often in short supply - among students and teachers. The system does not necessarily accommodate all learning styles, and even those who fair well may be missing out on other important work-life lessons, like how to creatively solve problems, stay focused, work as part of a team, and organize their thoughts in a way others will understand. This is where project-based learning enters the equation."

Project-Based Learning Research: Evidence-Based Components of Success | Edutopia - 0 views

  •  
    "What boosts PBL from a fun and engaging exercise to a rigorous and powerful real-world learning experience? Researchers have identified four key components that are critical to teaching successfully with PBL (Barron & Darling-Hammond, 2008; Ertmer & Simons, 2005; Mergendoller & Thomas, 2005; Hung, 2008). All of these play a role in the curriculum-design process."
