"Hi Dan,
Yes, I can help, it would be my pleasure.
I'm busy developing several projects in 7th and 8th grade life and physical science classrooms. See the blog and websites for a little more information.

Sue Boudreau replied to Dan Sitter's discussion Math/Science in the group PBL ~ Better with PracticeSue Boudreau replied to Rachel Pickett's discussion Projects Going On In Our Classrooms in the group PBL ~ Better with Practice"Rachel, thanks for starting this. I was once again inspired by PBL Better with Practice, to reflect more deeply on exactly HOW to get a project off the ground. Basically, for me it comes down to do it myself first. The blog is at…"
Linda Strickland Martin replied to Sue Boudreau's discussion How can we revive creativity in schools, projects, teachers, admin and KIDS? in the group PBL ~ Better with Practice"Last summer I attended MEMTA, Michelson Exxon Mobile Teacher's Academy for science and math. It was AWESOME. We spent everyday learning in ways we should be teaching our students. You may have heard of lesson structuring using the 5 E's -…"
Sue Boudreau replied to Bill Kinziger's discussion Who are some PBLers that are tweeting? in the group PBL ~ Better with Practice"@suzieboss, @janekrauss, @sueboudreau (last one is me :-)"
Sue Boudreau replied to Jane Krauss's discussion Unicorns Deep in the Swim of It - Activities v. PBL in the group PBL ~ Better with Practice"Maybe a Venn diagram with activities being a sub-set of pbl, with teacher directed activities being lead-ins to teach pbl skills and concepts that will be needed, or that kids find they need to know.

Jane Krauss replied to Sue Boudreau's discussion How can we revive creativity in schools, projects, teachers, admin and KIDS? in the group PBL ~ Better with Practice"Thanks for this! People are taking play seriously in NYC. Check out this New Yorker article and associated podcast with the reporter (I think the podcast is better). I'm really interested in the role of play in developing both curiosity and…"

Some surprises around HOW to foster creativity...

Sue Boudreau replied to Sue Boudreau's discussion How can we revive creativity in schools, projects, teachers, admin and KIDS? in the group PBL ~ Better with Practice"Yes, Richard - agree about giving kids more choice and control. We tend to be most creative in areas we care about and that suit our personal talents. As to the terror of failing, they need more TIME for them to try stuff, fail and be encouraged to…"
Jane Krauss replied to Sue Boudreau's discussion How can we revive creativity in schools, projects, teachers, admin and KIDS? in the group PBL ~ Better with Practice"Sue thanks for starting this conversation! My son had similar feelings about his education. It wasn't until college where he could pursue a line of study he cared deeply about that his interest in learning was reignited. Too bad, but luckily…"
Richard Garcia replied to Sue Boudreau's discussion How can we revive creativity in schools, projects, teachers, admin and KIDS? in the group PBL ~ Better with Practice"I think giving control to students would help in giving them a bit more freedom to do and more importantly think. I'm only a first year but from what I have seen children are terrified of failing and being wrong. So they stifle their thoughts…"
Sue Boudreau replied to Suzie Boss's discussion PBL and Service-Learning in the group PBL ~ Better with Practice"I think that service is another way of saying 'get outside yourself'. It's part of finding meaning, something I think most young people (and old) are trying hard to find. So I think it's absolutely necessary for learning on a…"
Sue Boudreau replied to Suzie Boss's discussion Tools for Project Archives in the group PBL ~ Better with Practice"I think the Microsoft/Smithsonian initiative "Interrobang" projects may have a lot to offer in terms of social networking of projects and archiving. See what you think at Looking forward to hearing if anyone has tried this cool sounding…"
Sue Boudreau replied to Jane Krauss's discussion Need advice from PBL practitioners in the group PBL ~ Better with Practice"I'm very interested and envious to read the great conditions that some pbl practitioners work in with regard to collegiality, collaboration, student centered school culture and scheduling. We have none of that in the school that I work in. Or…"
Sue Boudreau replied to Suzie Boss's discussion Capturing PBL Wisdom in the group PBL ~ Better with Practice"Ooh, good idea, Jane. Let's talk! Sue"
Sue Boudreau replied to Suzie Boss's discussion Capturing PBL Wisdom in the group PBL ~ Better with Practice"But reading on in Lemov's book and I come across some increasingly disturbing stuff, for example, that it doesn't matter if kids like the subject matter, giving as evidence that he doesn't like poetry but benefited from having to…"
Sue Boudreau replied to Suzie Boss's discussion Capturing PBL Wisdom in the group PBL ~ Better with Practice"I'm loving PARTS of Lemov's book but thank you for crystalizing what feels a little off to me too - a little too teacher-centered. But having said that, even within a pbl class room, there are times when I have to run a discussion…"
