In 2000 the Department of Materials at Queen Mary University of London introduced Problem Based Learning (PBL) into their first year undergraduate program - being the first Materials Department in the UK to do so. A year later PBL was further expanded into their second year undergraduate program. To make space in the curriculum, the teaching load was reduced by 20% and most of the traditional practical classes were removed. Problem Based Learning (PBL) is a concept used to enhance multidisciplinary skills using planned problem scenarios. It is an active way of learning that teaches students problem solving skills, while at the same time allowing them to acquire basic knowledge. PBL was first introduced in the late 1960s at McMaster University in North America, and has since spread around the world mainly in medical education. The principal aims of implementing PBL are: * To integrate knowledge and skills from a range of multidisciplinary modules * To acquire knowledge through self-study * To teach students how to work in groups and manage group projects * To improve and develop transferable skills of students * To develop problem solving skills of students * To encourage self-motivation, curiosity and thinking * And finally, to make learning fun! A PBL Guide This guide is based on what Queen Mary University of London does and its context. It can be used as a guide to developing a PBL system that works in your context.

Applications for Education Unfortunately, the videos in Science Magazine's Video Portal don't have embed codes for placing them in your blog or website so you will have to just link to them. The nice thing about the videos is that each of them is connected to a print article that your students can read. The videos could be a good support material to have students view after an initial reading of the connected print article. This post originally appeared on Free Technology for Teachers.

Francis Howell's elementary site, good resources

where in town is Iggy?  directions, good with the SMARTboard

a good resource

Great place to find out what people are talking about.  Also a good place to find blogs about certain subjects.

The UNESCO Places map could be a good resource for geography and history teachers. Students could use the map as the starting point in a research project about significant historical sites in various regions of the world.

These are pretty good. They are separated by grade level and can be played individually or the whole group on the smartboard. A lot of math but other subjects, too.

Muvee Cloud could be a good way to share photos from your class with your students' parents. If you take your class on a field trip and have parents take pictures while they chaperon they could contribute to a private album you've created on Muvee Cloud.
