PBL ~ Better with Practice

Comment

Comment by Kevin Gant on Tuesday

Hi All,

I wanted to invite you to a weekly event on twitter:  PBLChat.   It's like Educhat, but about issues specifically surrounding Project Based Learning.  It lasts for an hour, and people go fast and furious talking about their practice, ideas, and feedback.  It starts at 9 pm EST.

All you need to do is log on to twitter, then type in #pblchat to the search window to see the posts.  Include #pblchat in your tweet to join the voices.

Each week is a different topic - tonight's theme is "Empowering Students with Digital Tools".    

Join us this Tuesday, and every tuesday at 9 pm EST!

I was at BIE headquarters this past week. I heard some great news! BIE and Napa Valley USD are sponsoring PBL World. Registration will open Feb. 1. They will have onsite and Edmodo sessions. It will be June 18-22. They are going to release an Edmodo app! Details are going on the bie.org site next year.

Hi,

I would love to use PBL.  I teach technology in a K-8 school and have done 1 unit each with the students in grades 7 & 8 they got so much out of it that I want to try it with other grades.

HI everyone,  I look forward to collaborating with this group.  I am a graduate student completing a M.E.T. and just enrolled in my summer course Technology Supported Project Based Learning.  This group sounded like a great way to begin learning about current trends and research.  Thank you for allowing me to join today!

Derek - have you looked at Quest Atlantis? See http://questatlantis.org - it's a research program from Indiana University, a 3D world (Active Worlds based) in which elementary students work on missions and quests in areas of science, math, language, character education, Internet safety, history, etc. Students work toward awards in Social Commitment as they learn and collaborate with each other. Kids from around the world are present and it is very much a monitored, protected space. I've found it crosses learning styles, reading levels, and engages kids who had otherwise been uninterested in learning in school.

It is free, and requires teacher training,sign up/parental permission University.

Cheers,

Can anyone help me locate quality virtual environments that are used in education for PBL? I'm familiar with Farmville, World of Warcraft, etc. but I'd be interested to hear of other sites that teachers find effective.

Just made a widget that combines a lot of the latest PBL blog posts and tweets into one spot. You could post it to your blog or website. Available here: http://www.guidetoonlineschools.com/online-teaching/project-based-l.... Tweet @n8ngrimm if you have any PBL blogs or information sources that should be included.
