About Me
I am a long-time educator in Eugene, Oregon.
I am the host of the Classroom 2.0 group http://www.classroom20.com/group/pblbetterwithpractice?xg_source=ac...

I am a on the board of directors of Springboard Innovation, which operates OUTSIDE the k-12 sphere. Interesting mission, important aims - Springboard focuses on informal youth education and community development through education. Please visit: www.learninginnovation.org

What occupies me lately? I wrote a book with coauthor Suzie Boss titled "Reinventing Project-Based Learning: Your Field Guide to Real-World Projects in the Digital Age" Suzie and I are meeting with lots of teachers and educational organizations to support new practice. We are excited about the promise of pbl and professional learning in the web 2.0 era, where important learning functions (collaboration, learning anywhere, many more) are made possible through a myriad of new and emerging tools.
I've just started another book on the topic of inquiry. I'll be listening deeply to my Classroom 2.0 colleagues to learn what how they foster a culture of inquiry and guide deep learning through PBL.

Reinventing... all over the Web

Hi,
Suzie Boss and I wrote a book but I won't be shilling here! What we've found in the process of writing is that we're part of a larger conversation around the learning functions of digital tools. We're especially interested in project-based learning. Please consider joining the community of interest forming around "reinventing" the learning experience in these different environments:

Yes. The south coast is beautiful. I'm planted here either surfing or watching the ocean.
We lived in Eugene too. It's a great place to live as well.
Thanks for the welcome.

forma individualizada con una central.
En estos momentos participo en muchas páginas espirituales y educativas.
Hay mucho para hacer , es muy productivo este trabajo.
Participo en salas de conferencias impartidas por temas.
Tardë varios años en formarme como Profesora en todos los niveles, Psicologa ,Informatica
Guia de turismo, Network, y Coach ontológico integral Internacional.
En consecuencia encontrar este sitio me pareció algo maravilloso!. .
Te comento que no hay nada mas difícil en la vida, para un niño , el aprender haciendo , a escribir ,leer
