Project Based Learning

When first I heard the expression 'digital storytelling' I understood it to refer to fictional writing. At the time I believe it did but now it covers all manner of writing and what have we always got our children to do to demonstrate learning? Retell what they have been taught. This doesn't necessarily move us far along Bloom's Taxonomy so what's the alternative? Anderson and Krathwohl (2001) have presented a reworking of Bloom that is suited to an age where material is deconstructed and reconstructed i.e. mashed. Creating, that 21 century skill, is at the apex.

Project-Based Learning (PBL) is an instructional approach where students engage in real-world projects to gain deeper knowledge and skills. Instead of traditional lectures, students work on extended projects that require critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity. They explore complex questions, develop solutions, and often present their findings to an audience. This method fosters active learning, encourages problem-solving, and helps students connect academic concepts to practical applications, preparing them for future challenges.

A tremendous collection of primary source documents from around the world and throughout history.

A research paper by John Seely Brown, Allan Collins and Paul Duguid, one of my favorites - Authors discuss learning theory and how conventional schooling too often ignores the influence of school culture on what is learned in school. Good background for why PBL works, especially the info on using tools.

Edutopia post about sticking with PBL, even when it's hard, with hat tip to Bianca's Blog.

Thoughtful response by Don Tapscott to NYT story on tech-distracted teens

Very interesting.

And, unlike the NYT article, the author references the studies he cites.
