Teacher-training coordinator David Grant describes how King Middle School in Portland, Maine combines project learning and technology to build effective, authentic learning experiences.
I am using this approach in Brazil and a good dicsussion is what to teach using this PBL idea with kids in different school levels and ages? That why we need to work with people from the education area and not just to share ideias about projects about Geography, History or Biology. We need to discuss WAHT to teach in different school levels.
The video froze on me right at the 12:00 mark. Also, I didn't hear anything about the manner of assessing the results of the kids' learning - that is a HUGE part of making this successful. He did mention peer review, but are solid criteria in place for evaluating the quality of the work? (I can't imagine they aren't, but it wasn't mentioned) Does poor work, or work that "misses the target" get sent back for revision?
Very nice overview of PBL! I'd love to visit this school.
