Catch of the Day - Project Based Learning-Online - 11 Feb 10

Project Based Learning-Online is today's fresh catch


Project Based Learning-Online is a comprehensive resource for project based learning. You'll find all the resources you need to help you conceive, plan, implement, and assess engaging, standards-based projects for middle and high school students.

The PBL-Online Home Page

The goals of PBL-Online
  • to provide a brief introduction to the basic ideas and methodology underlying project based learning
  • to create an interactive site that would coach pre-service and practicing teachers through the process of planning a project
  • to develop a project library called a collaboratory where teachers could search or browse to find ideas for projects
  • to have teachers contribute their own projects to the collaboratory, and include relevant images and documents about the project
  • to provide access to a three credit, online course about project based learning

Collaboratory Orientation Page

When you first visit the collaboratory, you will need to create a free account. Then after verification you will have the opportunity to complete an orientation before starting to search for and create projects.

A Sample Project Page

PBL-Online was created under the leadership of the Buck Institute for Education, with major contributions by the George Lucas Foundation, the Department of Educational Technology at Boise State University, and a group of University partners.
