Project Based Learning (PBL)

This week we have learned about different ways to present any project based learning activities we may want to include in our classrooms. One was using a site called Popplet. This site allowed the user to interact with a subject by organizing it into a flow chart fashion. You can also use this site to include group members and see how they answer the questions as well. My example is a religion lesson. I should have flowed this better but this was my first attempt. I had a question at the beginning which lead into the different ways in order to explore the topic. At the end the students would be assigned a short report on what they learned throughout the exploration piece.

Next I used goggle drive to make a digital story. A digital story may be a neat way to present. It is similar to a slide show. You can add voice clips, movies, pictures, etc., in order to tell your story of what you are learning. My story would be a lesson about pregnancy to childhood. I used pictures of my son to show the progression of him throughout the years. I chose to do mine more as a photo essay since I had so many wonderful photos I could use to tell my story.


Also in order to give your students a bit of a break you can do a "fun" activity to break things up. But you can sneak some learning as well. I have made a cross word puzzle about the 7 sacraments of the Catholic Church. Instead of a formal review you can use this to get them to remember certain names of things they need to know for a quiz.
