PBL does not focus on stale memorization of boring textbooks, but motivates students to investigate from a multitude of sources just like historians, writers, and scientists do. On top of these skills though PBL is also about DOING. It is not enough for students to be passive about learning but to be actively involved taking it much deeper. PBL is much more like actual jobs than the traditional classroom is.

Here's a new Edutopia post where I use Tim Brown's strategies from his book, Change by Design, as guidelines for project-based learning. Feedback welcome.

  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.

All High Tech High students and teachers store and exhibit their work in digital portfolios. These are perfectly aligned with the three High Tech High design principles of common intellectual mission, personalization, and adult world connection: required of all, they display personal learning and interests to an audience that extends beyond the school.

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!
