Today as we broke into our small groups, I found it interesting to note that three of our members were from elementary schools and thcompleting ree from middle and high schools.\u00a0 This was exciting to me because this indicates that project based learning has a place in Kindergarten to grade twelve education and I find that best practices in teaching are often applicable in many teaching environments.\u00a0 This also means that I better do a very good job at implementing this type of learning with my students so that they are capable of projects in this manner as this is something that they will be doing for the rest of their educational careers if not the rest of their lives.<\/p>\n

Our group had a good discussion about the International Baccalaureate program as Jenny teaches in an IB school.\u00a0 It was good to hear that this type of learning can actually be effective in a classroom setting.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We didn’t, however, get to much of a discussion about technology in this type of setting.\u00a0 I can see the possibilities of using technology to enhance these types of projects, both as a research tool but also as a presentation tool.\u00a0 I am curious if students get in a technology rut and if given a chance they would always present in the same format ie. video or if they would be self motivated to try a blog one time, a video the next, a cartoon the next etc.<\/p>\n

Project based learning does have a variety of resources on line.\u00a0 The above image shows an outline of the PLB framework.\u00a0 This PBL site seems to have good resources available (http:\/\/pbl-online.org\/<\/a>) and a good outline of what PBL is.\u00a0 I am wondering if there is a way that I could set up some sort of forum within our school district SharePoint where people could share unit ideas and ideas about how PBL is working in their classrooms.\u00a0 I wonder if my forum has to be restricted to SharePoint because as the one\u00a0go to place for all members\u00a0of our district, perhaps people would be more inclined to contribute rather than having to check two different places.\u00a0 Perhaps people would be happy to check two different places if the information was valuable enough?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
