Hi all,
I have never heard about this strategy before, but I applied it a lot during the previous years. The reason lead me to apply it was that my students have the enthusiasm to do a project rather than write an assignment so that I asked them to prepare projects on the global issues or what interest them of the issues mentioned in their text books.
After reading the article titled " Less Teaching and More Learning" by Susan Gaer about Project-based Learning I understood the method I used and become more aware of the principles and procedures of this Strategy.
PBL is the powerful method of involving students in learning new visions more than set and listen to their teachers.
Finally one of the largest and influential website that apply PBL effectively is iEARN : http://www.iearn.org/ visit it once and you will discover the importance of PBL in learning and improving student- centered environment.
Love,
Mariah
Hi Mariah,
ReplyDeleteI just looked at the iEARN page you recommended. It does have a lot of project. What a great resource. I think that many of the project ideas can be make into WebQuests. Thanks for sharing this resource.
