This video is a pretty cool look at how one school is doing things differently (and I say better). I wish I had this kind of hand on learning when I was in school! Full disclosure: Although the student (Andrew) made this to describe Project Foundry, it accurately describes the schools we work with at Project-Based Learning Systems.

  • How many students are in the classroom? 12? How realistic is this? I am glad these students can read from a script. I do like how students can look up what standards they haven't covered.

  • These type of schools leverage an advisory model, which usually ends up being 1:17 ratio. When a school changes how they use their resources, this is possible. The tone of your comment tells me you've been in education too long to appreciate new approaches.

    Check out Clayton Christensen's new book, "Disrupting Class" and maybe you will see why the future will not rely on the traditional sage on the sage mentality.

  • PBL ftw! It works great and gives people a drive for education

  • I am not advocating sage on the stage. I am interested in how your school reallocated its resources to facilitate the 1:17 ratio. One specific question, how do you have one teacher be responsible for all standards at a high school level? Are they licensed in all areas?

    I work at a small Catholic School with few computers where all students qualify for free lunch. How much does project foundry cost?

  • this is interesting but it shouldn't be the way every single class works

  • this is great.

  • fantastic

  • Good explanation of the steps to Project based learning.
