I have been wanting to implement PBL for 2 years now, but with being a kindergarten teacher I have been so nervous to actually put the time in to implement this. My fears come from ensuring that I am actually doing PBL and not just another project. It is also comes from the level independence that they may or may not have to complete projects on thier own. With moving to first grade next year I look forward to using this information to help propel me to try at least PBL during the school year.

Our students have to learn about the needs of a goldfish. I think instead of just having them brainstorm and guide them to the correct answers, I will simply give them the question and tell them that they need to solve this question using any resources that they have become familiar with in the classroom (books, iPads, library, background knowledge, and associated curriculum books) to allow the students to forge their own learning and then present their findings in any way they see fit.

Project Based Learning really allows students to show their creative side. Each student isn't expected to complete the same exact project. All of them will be different and interesting in their own way.

I love the idea of students solving a problem while using problem-based learning (PBL).  I feel as though this type of learning will motivate a lot of students to participate and share their projects as something they are proud of, rather than thinking of it as another assignment.  I plan to incorporate both Problem Based Learning and Project Based Learning experiences in my classroom.

I like the idea that students can choose a topic that is interesting to them, and develop a way to learn more about it and present the results to the class. Learning should be a process for students, and project-based activities will increase a student's motivation to learn.

In order to get the students involved and excited to complete a project, they must understand the relevance in real life.
For instance, money is a great example to teach students a real life scenario. I just had my students create carnival games. They had to use money to "play" these games. The students enjoyed the entertainment as they played different games while learning about money.

As a primary teacher it's sometimes hard for me to let go of the reins. With that being said, I am very excited to do more PBL in my classroom. I think one of the key things will be scaffolding and guiding my students in their learning!

I also really liked how the videos went more in depth about how to have students self assess and be accountable.

# data[].attributes.body
As I was going through the article I really liked how it explained how PBL is more of a process for students. The process allows students to collaborate and work together to build relationships with each other and and work through problems and explore things together. I really like this especially for first grade. I think this also coincides with the Growth Mindset that we've been talking about in elementary classrooms as well.

I particularly like the idea of project based learning for small groups because many students are not self-directed enough to make valuable use of project-based work time. Having a group to work with often helps in this area. The challenge at this point becomes assessment. Children should never receive a "group grade." It is essential that each child is assessed on his/her own merit.

As always, lack of time is our biggest enemy when wanting to try great things. It is impossible to combine two different philosophies of education at one time. You can't implement project-based learning at the same time that you are given a timeline of trimester deadlines, common assessments to be covered, etc. etc.

Educators and students alike operate in a standards-based learning system. Since personalized PBL's provide an open door for students to meet a variety of different standards,  how does a teacher then manage students meeting all standards (when returning to a more traditional whole group instructional practice, because let's face it, not all content/concepts fit the PBL model)? So when returning to more traditional based instruction and assessments, it feels like managing and making sure all students have met each standard, would require the teacher to then differentiate all lessons afterwards to ensure that each student was getting what they needed and not sitting through the lessons in which they have already met those standards. I would think differentiating by creating centers and providing resources for independent acquisition of content/concepts would be needed. This seems like best practice, but also a tremendous amount of work/preparation which I'm not sure could be all done beforehand as one would not know the standards each student will have met until the actual PBL materializes. Bah! This seemingly all-or-nothing approach is rather intimidating, but I'm sure there is more literature on this concern that I haven't read yet including other teacher's tips and suggestions for implementation.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the overall message here is that regardless of the subtle differences in the ways we label the different types of "X-BLs" they all suggest that students are more engaged and as a result greatly benefit from all "Extended Learning Experiences."

I love the idea and theory of the PBL approach. I have given my students PBL opportunities when they work in small groups to demonstrate their understanding of a novel (literary elements, points of interests, content understanding).  They had choice of novel, instructional tools, and project delivery. I used google docs as a means to document their collaboration and progress. I still had students that didn't contribute ideas or pull their own weight even though I included criteria on the rubric identifying both group and individual scores.  I do believe the PBL approach strongly impacts student learning, but I also appreciate the value of other approaches to instruction and assessment.
