Editor's Notes

  1. Can start with 33, then 34 then 32. And it turns out that after some work, we were able to develop a simple framework for Challenge Based Learning. It looks like this: You start with a big idea – water, energy, self-identity, justice, voting. Come up with the essential question: What does water mean to me and my community? Who am I and who do I want to become? Why is it important to vote? Then you frame the challenge: Improve your school’s use of water. Build your dream team for life. Implement a plan to get more 18 year olds to vote. Let’s focus for a moment on the big idea of water. We did some work on this in the summer of 2008. Atlanta was within 30 days of running out of water; Iowa was suffering from flooding; California was fighting fires; and the Gulf Coast was preparing for hurricane season. A quick sidenote: We’ve been fortunate to be able to involve Adam and Jamie from the “Mythbusters” on some of the communications around Challenge Based Learning and when we were brainstorming essential questions about water, Adam said: “What water means to you depends on whether your thirsty, dirty or on fire.” So if the challenge around water was to improve your school’s use of water, the teams need to ask themselves what they need to know about water before they can tackle that challenge? They will need to do some research; they may need to do a few activities such as measuring their school’s use of water today and so on. The important thing here is that students can do the work. Then the students can create an actionable solution and do it. Assessment can focus on how well the solution addresses the challenge and how well the kids executed the plan. Then you can publish – sample solutions and also publish the documentation –what was it like to work on this challenge We’re creating a lot of video to bring these ideas to life. Here is one on what it means to accept a challenge.

It looks like this: You start with a big idea – water, energy, self-identity, justice, voting. Come up with the essential question: What does water mean to me and my community? Who am I and who do I want to become? Why is it important to vote? Then you frame the challenge: Improve your school’s use of water. Build your dream team for life. Implement a plan to get more 18 year olds to vote. Let’s focus for a moment on the big idea of water. We did some work on this in the summer of 2008. Atlanta was within 30 days of running out of water; Iowa was suffering from flooding; California was fighting fires; and the Gulf Coast was preparing for hurricane season. A quick sidenote: We’ve been fortunate to be able to involve Adam and Jamie from the “Mythbusters” on some of the communications around Challenge Based Learning and when we were brainstorming essential questions about water, Adam said: “What water means to you depends on whether your thirsty, dirty or on fire.” So if the challenge around water was to improve your school’s use of water, the teams need to ask themselves what they need to know about water before they can tackle that challenge? They will need to do some research; they may need to do a few activities such as measuring their school’s use of water today and so on. The important thing here is that students can do the work. Then the students can create an actionable solution and do it. Assessment can focus on how well the solution addresses the challenge and how well the kids executed the plan. Then you can publish – sample solutions and also publish the documentation –what was it like to work on this challenge We’re creating a lot of video to bring these ideas to life. Here is one on what it means to accept a challenge.
