Well, I finished all of my PBLU courses (pblu.org if you haven't taken them!) and I am VERY excited about this school year. I'm down to just my capstone left and I'm working with a colleague of mine to implement an English project into her advisory class!
Why English? I always wanted to be an English teacher. When I went off to MSU it was between Math & English or Math & Spanish. I chose Math & Spanish (or well, a coin chose for me!). So, I'm living out the flip-side of my coin through this project.
The project is called "Cyrano's Funk" and was developed over at High Tech High and I'm very excited and nervous about diving into this! It's been a long while since I've had to discuss literary elements with anyone, none the less try to teach them, so we'll see how this goes!
Other projects going on:
Working on developing "Life on Planet X" (not an original name, I know, but I'm technical not creative), with our lead science teacher here and I will be implementing that next week as well. Two projects in one week? Am I crazy? Yes. Yes, I am.
I am a firm believer that math is more than just solving for x. Join me in my adventure as I try my hand at bringing PBL to life in mathematics and beyond! I've created subpages for resources related to specific topics I cover in depth on the site. Check out: Project Based Learning, Project Based Learning with Mathematics, Problem Based Learning, and Tech Tools to support PBL/PrBL for some great ideas to get you started creating your own PBL Classroom!
