Seven Qualities of Project Based Learning gave an idea about what makes a good Project Based Learning experience. The teachers that participated in this article taught very important aspects of Project Based Learning. They taught teachers to engage students and how to keep the students interested in what the project was. They stated the importance of student choice and having a clear "driving question" so the students could have a good understanding of what the project is meant to achieved. The teachers presented the idea of giving students controversial topics to and freedom to address those as they wished. Going to other teachers about Project Based Learning can help teachers learn effective ways to teach. Using articles like this will allow teachers to have a foundation on how to guide Project Based Learning.

Project-Based Learning for Teachers gives a video by Tony Vincent that gives teachers a summary of Project Based Learning. The video talks about how interesting questions that allow students to explore and meet the standards of the education system. This video is a good tool for teachers interested in Project Based Learning but are not sure what it is.

3.High School Teachers Meet the Challenge of PBL Implementation is a video I found on youtube that gave a student's perspective on Project Based Learning. The student migrated to America with his parents for a better education. This student's video teaches how Project Based Learning can allow students to voice opinions and become interested in learning.

















4.High School Teachers Meet the Challenge of PBL Implementation is a video detailing how some teachers at a school are slowly going through and putting PBL in each subject. This video shows that with careful planning and teamwork, PBL is possible for every classroom. The teachers commented how implementing PBL was causing them to redefine curriculums and rethinking how different subjects were approached. These teachers also talked about how their students enjoyed PBL and benefited them. These teachers show us that PBL is worth the handwork to help students learn.

5.PBL in PE is a blog post about how a teacher used PBL to help and teach his students. He had his high school students fill out an exercise plan for middle school students. He showed that allowing students to help and make a difference through PBL taught them how to stay healthy and got them involved in the community.

Through these resources, teachers and students teach that PBL is a learning tool that can engage students and help the community. It allows students to learn about their world and be interested in their education.

  1. You did a good job summarizing what you learned and giving descriptions of the material. Remember to proof read your posts for tiny things, but overall good job! Also, a way to enhance it might be to say something you might do in your classroom using what you've learned.
