Where can I find resources and ideas for PBL?
I love to get ideas from Pinterest because its a quick visual search. Here are a few teaching blogs and resources that came up in my search:
Why use the Project Based Learning method?
My last post explained Project Based Learning (PBL) as a method of teaching that engages students in responding to a real world challenge, problem, or questions. This seems time consuming, so why should we as teachers want use this method of teaching?
- One reason is these responses are to an authentic real world problems. Students need opportunities to interact with the real world when possible because they can find it more meaningful.
- These projects, when designed well, are meant to be engaging for students. They get to take ownership of their learning.
- PBL is designed to include problem solving and problem solving is a life skill that students need more opportunities to sharpen.
- PBL can be used to address a variety of standards and topics. It is also a wonderful way to incorporate more technology into the classroom.
These are a few of the many reasons of why PBL should be used in the classroom. It can be a powerful teaching tool.

What is Project Based Learning?
Have you heard of Project Based Learning or PBL? The last PD I attended was 2 full days dedicated to learning about this teaching method. The district was requiring a teacher from every school to attend this PD so it must be important, but what is it?
Project Based Learning is a teaching method that engages students in learning through solving a really life challenge, problem, or question. Authentic real-world problem solving sounds like the gold mined when it comes to what we as teachers want to include in our teaching.
