Project based learning is task oriented. Students complete a project as a culminating activity. Whereas problem based learning is driven by authentic problems with multiple solutions. Solutions are key to having a problem-based learning experience.

Project Based- end goal is a project that student is creating. Skills are taught first and then they create a project to show their understanding

Problem Based- posing the problem and students are learning the skills by solving the problem

Sometimes things seem authentic learning experiences, but they can be task oriented projects. Having students connect their learning experiences to actual problems makes learning authentic.

In ELA, we navigate between open and closed-ended problems with writing assignments.  The examples provided seem to only add more words that say the same thing as the closed-ended task.

Creating an experience that is more authentic (e.g. "How does this connect to the real world?") generally will make the information learned resonate more with students. However, it is not always so easy to make things connect, based on the content that you are teaching.

I like the idea of taking tired/old prompts and learning tasks and trying to make them more authentic. I think when you find a really engaging Authentic task, it can energize you and your students. Not always easy, however, to simply turn one into the other.

Flipping the triangle and starting with some sort of phenomenon or problem just seems like a great way to motivate and encourage student learning.  I loved Mina's suggestion of starting with our dream for what our classroom could look like, identifying the reality, and then work at moving towards that dream.  An example of applying Problem-Based learning to our own teaching world, I suppose.

I'm not sure I totally agree with Cher. At least a few open-ended versions focus on trying to engage students by seeing how it relates to their lives. And designing a garden is very different than just 'calculate how many plants will grow' in a meaningless question. But I do see how they aren't all radically different.

Making something authentic within the health curriculum would be to have students come up with real life scenarios to role play and advocate/communicate for their health and others

Authenticity in education is a concept that is great as an idea and talking point but hard to execute. I think it is especially difficult in ELA as many of the standards are difficult to achieve if things are not structured with a common text

Project based learning is an overarching theme and problem based learning is within it. Problem based learning could ask students to come up with a problem they see and then possibly go through the steps of open ended questions to come up with a solution. This could be at both the beginning of a unit and at an end of a unit

Social Studies lends its self to exploring open-ended problems and exploring different solutions to those problems.

Having students learn through simulations creates authenticity and gives students an opportunity to connect with the content.

Felt/Need Learning Center-its a great way to have students self-assess and determine their own paths through the content.

It’s interesting before I plan a lesson or unit. I build a mindmap to layout the unit or the lesson. It would be interesting to see how students could use mindmaps or concept webs to layout all of the layers of the problem they were studying.

There are a lot of smart, creative, talented, and tech savvy teachers in this room.  I think March 16 is going to be amazing!
