Hi Terrie, Welcome to the group! It sound like you have an excellent problem ahead. I'm guessing that you'll be able to use projects to deepen students' understanding of the math they've been learning in your flipped classroom.…

Terrie Morrow replied to Suzie Boss's discussion 'Welcome, New Members' in the group PBL ~ Better with Practice

Hi all! I am Terrie and I teach third grade in Michigan. I am interested in project based learning because, as I explore some flipping of the classroom, I am discovering that some students could be done with their math by January. …

Suzie Boss replied to Suzie Boss's discussion 'Observing 9/11' in the group PBL ~ Better with Practice

Hi Marsha, I appreciate your concerns. You might find some inspiration in the advice offered by the National Association of School Psychologists. They encourage activities that build youth resilience, so that students “see themselves as a…

Marsha Ratzel replied to Suzie Boss's discussion 'Observing 9/11' in the group PBL ~ Better with Practice

I'm very torn about what to do. I don't want to re-traumatize my students over the whole thing but it's such a big moment in our country's history....my students would have been 2 years old when it happened. They…

As of now (ideas subject to change!), I plan to have the students on the Thurs/Fri before (we are on an A/B block schedule) preview this infographic of the Rebuilding 1 World Trade Center and make an inference about it and post a…

Observing 9/11

How are you planning to observe the 10th anniversary of 9/11 with your students?I've collected some project-worthy resources in this Edutopia post. You'll find suggestions for helping students gather oral histories, make tributes, or be more critical consumers of the news, among other ideas.Pam Moran and Ira Socol share a powerful essay about why students need to learn to interpret…See More

About Me: I'm co-author of Reinventing Project-Based Learning: Your Field Guide to Real-World Projects in the Digital Age (published by ISTE). Co-author Jane Krauss and I take a worldwide look at how Web 2.0 tools are reinvigorating the project approach. I contribute frequently to Edutopia and the Stanford Social Innovation Review.
When I'm not writing about education, I develop programs that teach people (from youth to adults) how to be problem-solvers in their own communities. I recently joined the National Faculty of the Buck Institute for Education.

See You at ISTE?

ISTE's just around the corner, and I'm looking forward to facilitating a session on "Ripped from the Headlines Projects." It's Wed., June 29, at 11:45 a.m., and I'm happy to have two teachers and a media guest joining me. Please join us if you're interested in PBL, media literacy, or collaborating with colleagues on project planning. We'll have a wiki where teachers can connect and start planning their own ripped-from-the-headlines projects.

Should be fun!

I am leading a PLC that next year will be embarking on an effort to be more project-based in our approach to learning/teaching and look forward to continuing my own learning over the summer in preparation for a terrific year!
