Question 1

dlburns — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 13:00:19 CDT

What is project-based learning? How is it different from traditional learning?

PBL creates a constructivist learning environment for students empowering them to construct their own knowledge. They decide and plan their project, participate in rubric for assessment and present the project in the end. The teacher acts only as a facilitator only, opposed to the traditional way of just dispensing information to the class as a whole.

ROOM 3 WIKI

dlburns — Fri, 06 Jul 2007 13:50:08 CDT

Welcome to Raleigh County Schools Project-Based Learning & Technology 2007 Event. You are now in the Room 3 WIKI.

This is a WIKI created in Wetpaint.com. During your experience this week, you'll learn how to navigate the site, add to it, change it, post a message, respond to messages from others, and finally - some of you will be creating one to use in your classroom. You'll be surprised how easy it is to become a "published author"! Imagine how much more motivated your students will be when they can put their work into a WIKI and share it with parents, friends, and even Grandma in another state!
For instructions on using this WIKI, click here to return to the PBL&T HOME and look for the link.
Each of the 5 "rooms" in PBL&T will be working in an identical WIKI. Your first task is to locate the Question Page and post an answer to your assigned question there. You'll find some suggested resources in the Page of Links. Next, you will read and respond to the posted answer of at least one other participant.

Every day, you'll write something in your journaling space. To find it, look to the left NAVIGATION SPACE and click on A PBL&T JOURNAL FOR THE WEEK link to find your name. After you've written your entry, respond to at least one other person's entry.

Meet Your Facilitator

bfulford — Fri, 06 Jul 2007 13:46:23 CDT

Hey! I'm Robin Wartella, an Instructional Coach with Raleigh County Schools. I have enjoyed using technology since my family bought our first Apple Computer years ago. I've evolved through the years, but there is still SO MUCH to learn! I'm looking forward to working with you this summer. I am not a techno expert, but together we'll "problem solve", and work our way through this course as we learn wonderful strategies to share with our students.
