Hey!
ReplyDeleteInteresting conversation. As a fan of PBL, you may be interested in checking out pbltech.wordpress.com - a blog highlighting tech resources and how they may be useful in a pbl setting. It is just getting started, so the place I've focused the most on so far is the 'deliverable' section - the end products that students use to prove their learning. The rest will be filled in as it comes along.
You may also be interested in checking out Avalon School (Avalonschool.org), a completely PBL-based high school in St. Paul, MN. At Avalon, students design their own learning completely through individual projects. We don't try to incorporate projects into the curriculum - there is no curriculum.
Glad to see you're a fan!
