Project Based Learning
This blog was originally set up to comment on topics related to Digital Storytelling. My current course relates to Project Based Learning. PBL emphasizes projects that are integrated with real life issues and situations. PBL engages students in higher levels of thinking and problem solving. These projects are often long term, with levels of activities that culminate in deep exploration of an essential question. Technology integration is most likely the vehicle for this exploration. As a library media specialist, I work collaboratively with teachers to develop projects and assist with research. I have the opportunity to work with students on developing the technology skills needed for successful PBL projects. I am looking forward to learning more about good project deveopment so I can be an even greater resource to my faculty.
