I like the ideas of things that can happen when service-learning principles are built into PBL.

That is a great way to look at it!  Tying it to some community or world issue that kids can work to solve is a great way for them to learn about giving back!

Wondering about how to provide rubrics for projects that are student initiated and might differ wildly from one another.

How long should the average "project" take? Does it matter if it is only a semester or a year long project? Could it be shorter?

See the various samples--there is no set time--you would determine it based on the project!

It's about the process, as much as the end output.

Take the students beyond what was taught in the book and apply it to real life situations. Allows them to work on other skills that are not apart of our day to day curriculum.

EXACTLY--those 21st Century and soft skills that are critical for students to learn!

Use exit tickets on workdays to check what was accomplished and questions they may have at that time.

Great idea for helping with progress and deadlines.

How much of the basics do you give prior to the project if it is primarily to be "student driven"?

This will totally depend on the direction you are wanting the project to go.  That is why I love the idea of the "Driving Question" as it allows the students to go in the direction that they see best suits their answer.

Having critiques after PBL helps students learn how to provide effective feedback to each other and receive it without negative context.

This is an important life-skill to help kids master!

Allowing the community to see the different projects by hosting a "fair" will allow the professionals in the community to see what students are learning. (related to their own fields)

This could serve as that "real" audience--they could even serve as assessors for you.

How much structure and guidelines do you give for project based learning activities? Do you want kids to figure things out and learn as they go?

See some of the samples--this would be determined by what you were wanting to have as your content standards and whether the product or the process was the most important part of your project.

Having students apply knowledge from the classroom to real world problems as well building team work skills in the classroom. :)

Exactly what PBL is meant to do.

# data[].attributes.body
I can apply real world problems and have students solve that issue in any way they see fit. This allows ownership on the students end. I like that students are directly in charge of their grade. Question....is giving a rubric too leading? How do we truly know students are coming up with their own ideas?

Again, this will depend on your project and whether you are grading the process or the product or both.  Your rubric can be pretty general to allow the kids the flexibility to take the project their own way.

What is the difference between a performance assessment and project assessment?  Do the two go hand in hand or does PBL intend to help the surround community?

I don't know why you couldn't have a performance assessment be a product at the end of a project.

What do you do if the PBL isn't "worthy" for "public presentation"?  Do you still "display" it anyway? Does this humiliate the kid/teacher?

This is a great question!  I saw something from the BIE site or the High Tech High site that referenced this.  I will look for that link and post it here.
