PBL

    This is an ad for a book on PBL in the Elementary Grades. Scroll down to download the PDF of the intro. It provides a great overview and addresses some myths about PBL.

    This is helpful. I love reading all of the sample projects... Especially the variety of culminating final presentations (definitely authentic and doable!). Also, thinking about how one question guides weeks of study makes me wonder how this would mesh with our spiraling Everyday Math curriculum.

    I agree--I enjoyed looking at the different sample projects. I did a lot more PBL when I taught 5th and 6th grades, and I feel like I haven't been quite as successful with it in 1st grade, so it was great to see some of the types of things that might be really great for 1st graders. Caitlin, I love how you mentioned math as well. One idea I had wanted to try a few years ago was writing a complex problem that we could spend the year working on, one that in order to solve, the students would need to figure out what they needed to learn, but it would lead us to the topics and the basics that are part of the regular curriculum anyway--it would just be more student directed. I never actually tried it, though. Something like this, though, or trying to integrate math through PBL, means making some changes to the EM curriculum that we currently use.

    I LOVE all of the ideas! The one about first graders exploring a suitcase from long ago to ask questions and create a video sounds like it could fit right in with our curriculum. As I mentioned in another post, I think we will need to be mindful of how we integrate PBL into our curriculum with the younger students, because their exposure can be quite different from one another. I feel some content introduction and base knowledge would need to happen before diving into these projects, but I fear it may become "dessert" rather than the main course.

    To echo what Mary stated, our moon unit is a great example of project based learning in kindergarten. The framework is set but each year it changes quite a bit with each new group of students. The students and their specific interests in the moon and space guide our instruction. I think we will definitely use the ipads to enhance what we already do for this unit. I would like to try project based learning with more units of study.

    Great ideas! Love to learn more about PBL projects Jill

    This is a cool article David shared. I bet some of our children would love to try it this year since many families have iPads at home.

    I love this. Completely agree with the observation that students are doing this in the safest of places and have control as they decide how many recordings to make and which to submit. What a great portfolio assessment possibility. And parents would likely be in the know since the children are doing this at home...what a great place to start a dialogue with parents about independent reading.

    I would also suggest that you click on the teacher links and the kids' videos.

    I liked the progression in the use of technology. Here is another way I thought the lesson could be ramped up and use technology to it's maximum potential... Have students discover landmarks or fun facts about a certain capital and then take virtual tour of that city via Google Earth. Students could take screen shots of the landmarks and write one or two sentences about each one.

    We are right to question the value of technology--especially depending on how it is used. Is it being used because we are told to use it, or is it adding value to instruction? More importantly, are students thinking and feeling more deeply? Some technology is not used to enrich the educational experience.
  • Andrea Corbin on 16 Oct 13
     
    I compared the two sheets. Existing lesson has the students contacting specific people like state leaders and global peers, or other students. The 2nd page which "ramps it up" suggests actively seeking out the opinions and knowledge of others and publishing work on the web. But maybe it's OK to limit the contacts the students are making. Or does safety/security matter anymore?
  • Erica Roth on 25 Oct 13
     
    I think that the idea of global learning through technology can be directly applied to the world language classroom. Language learning is really about communication (and the ability to communicate with others around the world), and the integration of technology into the classroom can allow students to form connections with other students throughout the world. I would love to start a twitter interaction with 3rd and 4th grade students and a class in Spain!

    interesting concept...we have plenty of items at the pre-school which would be perfect for the Curiosity Box. Love the name...Curiosity box

    In the course Inquiry in the Arts that I co teach, our first assignment is for the adult students to find a junk shop item that they can use in teaching multiple lessons. They need to think about how many of the multiple intelligences can be reached by the object and how well it can be integrated into all subject areas. Students are at first scared and then get very stimulated as they allow their brains to think outside the box.

    Not to go against the grain, but I found this article interesting, especially given all the high-tech parents. As we continue to integrate technology, it's important to remember that technology is not what makes good teaching and that we need to constantly evaluate what is appropriate for our children.

    I saw this article too and was about to post it! Interesting thoughts, especially coming from such a "techy" area.
