It is part of a process of self Learning process. Critical thinking, communication,, collaboration are the key words. It seams that PBL approach increases the motivation of students. ]]> 2017-10-17 13:56:39 UTC https://padlet.com/raffaellabedini2012/fp7s9vmjatcc/wish/197789477 raffaellabedini2012 https://padlet.com/raffaellabedini2012/fp7s9vmjatcc/wish/197793461 This is a link to the web site of my school

My students are between 14 and 16 years. In my classes usually I don't have any refugees or migrant students but I often have sons of migrants, comin from North Africa, Romania , Albania, or South America.]]> 2017-10-21 08:57:21 UTC https://padlet.com/raffaellabedini2012/fp7s9vmjatcc/wish/199250542 raffaellabedini2012 https://padlet.com/raffaellabedini2012/fp7s9vmjatcc/wish/200396556 Working in groups implies collaboration, respect of the other human beings. PBL develop problem-solving skills and creativity which are highly requested also by the labour market. The use of technology is as well another important item. The students are motivated because they have to reach a goal and because they will receive a grade for their work. While the groups are developing their projects the teacher should open his/her eyes and ears in order to avoid piggybacking 
of the lazier students, and at the end of the activity 
not all the participants will receive the same grade.

developing a project, working to reach established learning goals, allow students to adquire a life-long learning way of working.
The 5 key words for PBL are:
Real world connection ( for example having an authentic problem)
Core to Learning 
Structured collaboration 
Student Driven ( the teacher ad a sort of facilitator)
Multifaceted assessment.]]> 2017-10-25 14:26:35 UTC https://padlet.com/raffaellabedini2012/fp7s9vmjatcc/wish/200425243 raffaellabedini2012 https://padlet.com/raffaellabedini2012/fp7s9vmjatcc/wish/201640692 The first step is to find a driving question or problem that can spire curiosity in the students.  It is not easy.  It is a process that  may require the help and collaboration of the other teachers. Also a brainstorming activity with the students may help to find the right question.

Thinking on my current teaching practice  I guess I mix different ways ....depending on the situation, on the students and on the item. Sometimes I worked in groups and I would increase this PBL approach in my classes. The problem is the lack of time. I have few hours per week with each class and often the school burocracy occupies time that I'd prefer to dedicate to plan new Lissone and to learn, as a teacher, new approaches and modern ways such es the PBL.]]> 2017-10-30 17:08:49 UTC https://padlet.com/raffaellabedini2012/fp7s9vmjatcc/wish/201832274 raffaellabedini2012 https://padlet.com/raffaellabedini2012/fp7s9vmjatcc/wish/201850401 As a teacher of Foreing Language ( Spanish) I'm thinking about a driving question to start a PBL activity in one of my classroom. I'm thinking about someting like How would be a Don Quijote nowadays....but may be it is too abstract. Or How would you organize an exposition of Picasso masterpieces. While thinking about it I found in the internet this video, here a professor of Spanish as a foreign Language explains the advantages of PBL.

The teacher helps to scaffold the collaboration process. The teamwork does not come naturally and the teacher should guide students in organizing roles and responsibilities of each person of the group, students have to learn how to talk one another in a respectful manner also when they disagree. Collaboration should continue also with different opinions. The teacher should give directing instructions to the groups, should move among the tablet.]]> 2017-10-31 14:56:51 UTC https://padlet.com/raffaellabedini2012/fp7s9vmjatcc/wish/202173336 raffaellabedini2012 https://padlet.com/raffaellabedini2012/fp7s9vmjatcc/wish/203227510 E-Twinning seems to be a great activity to develop PBL projects.
