Engaging Students with PBL and Technology
This document discusses how to incorporate project based learning to effectively engage students. It defines project based learning as an instructional approach that uses driving questions to motivate students to conduct research, collaborate, and produce creative work over an extended period of time. The document provides examples of projects done by students, such as creating a film guide for Edward Scissorhands and a public service announcement. It also outlines the discover, create, share model used in project based learning, with examples of tools and resources used in each stage, like using iBooks and online texts for discovery, iMovie and GarageBand for creation, and blogs and Twitter for sharing. The goal is to encourage critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity through project based learning.
