This summer, many of our faculty members are reading about and researching ways to incorporate Project Based Learning in our classrooms. Of course, just as many other teachers out there, many of the activities and projects we do in our classrooms are already similar to a project based learning approach. So it's thankfully more of a fine-tuning rather than a curriculum overhaul!
So where to begin? Well, in my research so far this summer, I've come across some really great websites to help any and all get started with Project Based Learning.
The best website I visited was
The Buck Institute for Education. It's full of great information from how to get started planning, to assessment sheets, to videos showing PBL in action. Such a great resource and I HIGHLY recommend everyone to check it out.
Another great website is the Edutopia website. While an all around great website on educational research, they have a lot of information on PBL.
Here are a few more smaller sites I've bookmarked:
- PBL Meets STEM: Delicious Main Course of Resources and Ideas - Another blogger's list of great resources.
- First Grade Engaged Action Research Journey - Action Research on PBL in a first grade classroom.
- Harnessing the Power of the Web a Tutorial for Collaborative Project-Based Learning - Working with schools around the globe on collaborative projects.
- Educational Planning Process - 5 step overview of the PBL planning process.
If you know of any more great PBL websites or books, please note them down in the comments section!
Have a Terrific Thursday!
