Are you looking at incorporating project-based learning (PBL) in your classroom? Here are five great resources from Edutopia. The main article shares a story about "a high school devoted to teaching every subject to every student through project-based learning ." Perhaps you might ask why use PBL? "From the moment a project is introduced, students are responsible for figuring out what they need to know and for doing the legwork to find the information, analyze it, and present it. Teachers are there every step of the way to guide students through the process and to provide workshops to help clarify any concepts." In addition to this story you may also access the following resources: * A Step-by-Step Guide to Effective PBL * Research-Based PBL Strategies * Resources and Strategies for PBL Start to Finish *Video: One Project Start to Finish An amazing collection of resources in one location!

Why shouldn't the smartest people in the world want to go into education? One reason that comes to mind: maybe they just don't know much about how education--and for that matter, how quickly education technology has been evolving.
Beth Dichter's insight:
This EdSurge Guide has 10 sections, with a "big question" for each of them and a number of resources for each. Check out the list of topics below and click through to learn more about any of the 10 areas. * What are the influentical ideas behind "edtech"? * How can you be part of the edtech community? * Does the profit motive belong in education? * How do you find and evaluate edtech products? * Can technology help prepare better teachers? * Where does 'Making' or project-based learning fit into edtech? * How should we measure student "success"? * Who owns the data? There are three to six excellent resources listed under each question. Many great resources will be found in this post!

This indepth post explores inquiry-based learning. The four phases are:
1. Interaction - Big Idea: Dive into engaging, relevant, and credible media forms to identify a “need” or opportunity for inquiry
2. Clarification - Big Idea: Summarizing, paraphrasing, and categorizing learning with teacher or expert support
3. Questioning - Big Idea: Asking questions to drive continued, self-directed inquiry
4. Design - Big Idea: Designing an accessible, relevant, and curiosity-driven action or product to culminate and justify inquiry
Each of the four phases also includes information on tones, student indicators, teacher indicators, appropriate questions and apps.
There are also 4 questions for student-based reflection and ten adjustments you may make as a teacher to adjust to teaching inquiry-based learning.
There are many forms of teaching that incorporate inquiry-based learning including project-based learning, blended learning, and challenge-based learning. You may find your students more engaged in the learning process if you include some components of inquiry-based learning in your classroom.
