One of the most challenging aspects of this school year has been using project-based learning to integrate curriculum. Projects are a beast! It feels like I am boarding a roller coaster each time we begin a new project. In fact, it feels like every project follows the same emotionally turbulent trajectory as pictured below.

"Most teachers and current textbooks offer varied approaches to the material to be learned so the teaching can be brain-compatible with the varied student learning styles. It is only logical that respect for these individual learning styles be incorporated into assessment forms." Via Beth Dichter

Like other comments on this scoop, I really like this article, especially items #1 and #2. I really like those options because they are unconventional options that I still think would provide an appropriate level of challenge for the students as well as provide an alternative form of just a simple pencil and paper exam. I think option #1 is more feasible for elementary school because it would allow students to work on skills that are more age appropriate like consolidation of information and looking for quality source material.

All 5 assessment methods involves students leading the learning. Asking the students questions based on their reading of the topic helps their analytical skills and allows them to be in charge of their learning.

This infographic looks at Project Based Learning (PBL) and divides it into three main sections: * Organize and co-ordinate work * Build background knowledge & inspire * Co-design *making* The second and third areas are then decided to more clearly deliniate the areas each covers. The last final two sections provide more specific concepts of what it required and also one or more suggestions of tech tools that will assist the process. There are additional groupings as shown in the infographic above. More and more teachers are engaging in some form of PBL and this visual may serve as a great base to help create a strong foundation and provide ideas of technology tools that might assist in the process.

I really like this resources because it shows where students are getting information for their projects. The projects are learned through resources that are distributed across many different fields, websites, and search engines. This allows students to engage in many different types of content curation sites. Google and skype are a few examples of resources. The visual is broken up into instant learning and coalitious segments showing how some sites are good for overlapping purposes. This is an interesting view of PBL sources.

There's a big difference between using projects in the classroom versus project-based learning in the classroom. What are those differences, you ask? Via Tom D'Amico (@TDOttawa)

Art teachers know projects, but do we know how to take it to the next level? PBL engages students in those higher order skills and processes needed for college and career readiness .This chart illustrates how we can move our lessons from doing art to creating it.
