Blind Brook - Intro to PBL Turnkey W by Mina Harris https://padlet.com/mharris65/l24xyv5846oq en-us 2018-01-12 19:16:48 UTC 2025-12-28 03:01:35 UTC hello@padlet.com Rich https://padlet.com/mharris65/l24xyv5846oq/wish/226632445 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. ]]> 2018-01-31 15:57:55 UTC https://padlet.com/mharris65/l24xyv5846oq/wish/226632445 Jen jcastelli1 https://padlet.com/mharris65/l24xyv5846oq/wish/226633394 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]]> 2018-01-31 15:59:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mharris65/l24xyv5846oq/wish/226633394 Rich https://padlet.com/mharris65/l24xyv5846oq/wish/226633846 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. ]]> 2018-01-31 15:59:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mharris65/l24xyv5846oq/wish/226633846 Cher https://padlet.com/mharris65/l24xyv5846oq/wish/226634651 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.]]> 2018-01-31 16:01:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mharris65/l24xyv5846oq/wish/226634651 Cher https://padlet.com/mharris65/l24xyv5846oq/wish/226636644 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.]]> 2018-01-31 16:03:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mharris65/l24xyv5846oq/wish/226636644 Tom https://padlet.com/mharris65/l24xyv5846oq/wish/226641486 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.]]> 2018-01-31 16:11:23 UTC https://padlet.com/mharris65/l24xyv5846oq/wish/226641486 Tom https://padlet.com/mharris65/l24xyv5846oq/wish/226643089 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.

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.]]> 2018-01-31 16:17:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mharris65/l24xyv5846oq/wish/226645722 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 https://padlet.com/mharris65/l24xyv5846oq/wish/226648714 -Gina]]> 2018-01-31 16:21:33 UTC https://padlet.com/mharris65/l24xyv5846oq/wish/226648714 Brian Lazere https://padlet.com/mharris65/l24xyv5846oq/wish/226650227 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

]]> 2018-01-31 16:24:02 UTC https://padlet.com/mharris65/l24xyv5846oq/wish/226650227 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 https://padlet.com/mharris65/l24xyv5846oq/wish/226654868 -gina

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. ]]> 2018-01-31 17:15:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mharris65/l24xyv5846oq/wish/226682369 Cher, Marko, Mackenzie https://padlet.com/mharris65/l24xyv5846oq/wish/230575920 Engaging, authentic , applicable, practical, fun
