components of good pbl 1.4

Here they are! My creative concept!

which of the 5 components I feel will be the most challenging for me to realize and why?

• effective collaboration? 
• I can handle it.
• is it assessment because your curriculum requires very regular and rigid summative assessments that you are worried will get in the way of PBL? 
• No, I can handle it, although it's time consuming. 
• Or maybe you are more concerned about the passivity of your students in lessons and getting them to take the initiative? 
• Hmmmm....the passivity that will be connected with a wrong driving question, yes. But I'm mostly concerned about the right connection with a real world problem, and how I will combine it with my teaching subjects. It seems that not all subjects are ideal for pbl. If I could collaborate with other teachers and subjects, I think it would have been easier. Anyway.... since every year I teach different subjects, I must use my summer for reflecting, planning, getting organized. 

is it pbl? why use pbl? 1.2

Many times I have been wondering:

Will this work? 

Is it planned well? 

Will students manage to complete the tasks?

Have they learned?

Pbl in the classroom is a huge task for a teacher. Every help, every resource, every exchange of good  practices is more than welcome. That's why I feel lucky to have enrolled in this course!

the What?

the Why?

By the way, I like dotstorming tool!

what is pbl 1.1

PBL is all about the process and the learning that happens as part of this process. In other words the project is the main course. "Doing projects" however, is often an add-on at the end of a topic that has been studied in class, in other words the learning of curriculum content happens before the project work even starts. The project is then the culmination of that work where the students apply their knowledge or delve deeper into the topic. 

I've watched the first video 3 years ago, when I actually started experimenting in my classroom on pbl.
Millions of problems in the beginning. I don't doubt about the effectiveness of this method but theory is far away from practice in the classroom. I never had and I will probably never have the ideal conditions to implement pbl, but at least I'm trying.
I hope that in the end of this course I will have gained a bit more skills on applying pbl in my lessons.
