# data[].attributes.body
The link to the outside world can be established in different ways but one of the most powerful mechanisms to do this is by involving audiences or partners from outside of the classroom or even better outside of the school.
Organizing projects together with another class.
Involving people from the community in students work creates an entirely new meaning for their work.

A key goal of PBL is not the project but rather the process of building the project. Learning happens while working on the project.
One of the key things students should be learning as part of this process is effective collaboration.
Share responsibility, creating interdependently, negotiate, give feedback.
A learning activity is only task that students do as part of their school- related work.
Six rubrics each represents an important skill for students to develop:
Collaboration
Knowledge construction
Self-regulation
Real-world problem solving and innovation
The use of ICT for learning
Skilled communication
Students work interdependent when all students must participate in order for the team to succeed.

How to implement PBL effectively in your classroom. 5 Key components we need to get right in order to make PBL a success:
1. Real-world connection: authentic problem that drives the curriculum.
2.core to learning: Provides academic leader. This is the way that they learn the content.
3. Structured collaboration: allowing students to work together but giving them a structure within which to work.
4. Student driven- the teacher becomes a facilitator and students take control.
5. Multifaceted assessment: integrated throughout the whole PBL unit.
PBL
Research shows that compared with students receiving traditional instruction those participating in PBL
1. Become more engaged, self- directed learners
2. Learn more deeply and transfer their learning to new situations.
3. Improve problem solving and collaboration skills and
4. Perform as well or better on high stakes tests.
STUDENTS HAVE VOICE AND CHOICE.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion the most challenging of the 5 components for the kindergarten is to teach them how to collaborate in a structured way. The activities must be very well structured, the classroom very well organized and the children must understand that in order to solve the problem they should collaborate in a disciplined and well programmed manner

# data[].attributes.body
PBL completes critical thinking.
This century is about identifying problems and in order to come up with a solution you need to be creative.
Working and collaborating with others is the reality of this world and children should learn it from an early age and which is a better place than school?!!

The reason I joined this course is because I am very interested in teaching on a PBL basis. In my classroom there are 19 children 5-6 years old. I introduced S.T.E.M Activities and partially PBL last year with great excitement  both from children , parents and myself. I introduced robotics and new technologies as well  but the problem was and still is that I have no assistance and no equipment. So I provide everything on my expenses. My project for this year is to teach all subjects through DISNEY- PIXAR MOVIES
