A few project-based tools for hands-on and collaborative learning experiences

Terry Heike from TeachThought has compiled this wonderful list of apps, resources, graphs, charts, and more to help project-based learning be successful for your class.

This Glog, created by Sue Oxnevad, is titled "Google Docs For Learning". There are 12 notes attached to this online poster board. When you click on each, you are taken to different presentation formats and instructed how you can use Google Docs, and in some instances retailed web tools, in relation to the folllowing: * Assignment Tracker: Google Forms * Build Vocabulary * Digital Notes: Google Docs and Readability Martlet * Guided Learning * Mind Mapping * Multi Media * Organization: Google Calendar * Project Based Learning * Self-Grading Quiz: Google Form * Templates: Use Google Docs Templates * Word Posters: Google Draw * Writers Workshop

I stumbled upon this website while working on an assignment for another class. The site is self-described as "A comprehensive website and online community that increases knowledge, sharing, and adoption of what works in K-12 education. We emphasize core strategies: project-based learning, comprehensive assessment, integrated studies, social and emotional learning, educational leadership and teacher development, and technology integration." If you click on "Topics," they have some especially interesting material. Earlier I researched classroom management strategies, but there is everything from cross-curricular teaching to apps you might integrate into a classroom setting.
