This week was quite a learning adventure in project based learning. From the beginning I have been excited about PBL. I really like the approach and it fits my teaching style very well. What I didn’t expect was the amount of research and resources that are already available online. Even better than that, was the relevance of the learning activities that are already online. There are many lessons already created that can be used as is, or to build upon with resources specific to my classroom. Most of the activities online are all projects that I would use in my class, so I am excited to get started.
As I look at the PBL projects, I find myself with more questions. I wonder how using PBL will look in my own classroom? Is it possible to have more than one PBL lesson running at once? Or do you design projects that address ELA and math subjects simultaneously to hit more than one standard? As I continue my research on PBL this week I will focus on answers to these questions.
