This project is an awesome example of how far students can go with real-world challenges. And it all started because a teacher was wise enough to take a student's question seriously.

Here's a short-term project idea: Stop Bullying: Speak Up Comic Challenge takes on the subject of bullying with student-created comic strips. The challenge runs throughout October, using Bitstrips for Schools as a platform for comic creation. There's a gallery for publishing student work online, and best pieces will be published in a stop-bullying anthology.

I recently spent three days with about 25 educators gathered for a Foundations of Innovation workshop in Detroit. This post describes a few take-aways. The experience has me thinking about differences/distinctions between PBL and design thinking.

Project-based learning offers a host of benefits to youth during the academic day, but active learning doesn't have to stop when school's out. A new movement is underway to encourage PBL during summer vacations and after-school hours. Making PBL part of out-of-school time gives youth new opportunities to become leaders, thinkers, and problem-solvers.

In this Edutopia post, I share ideas from teachers who are using today's headlines to design relevant projects. The challenges: maintaining student attention once the news cycle ends, and going deep into content areas. Pls share more ideas in comments.

Edutopia is offering a free month-long PBL camp (I'm facilitating). We're going to use the oil spill as the starting place for designing collaborative projects that get students thinking as problem-solvers. Great opportunities here for finding classroom partners and like-minded collaborators. Please join us!
