A peer and I will be working on a Project hopefully using a ning as the base for creating the author background, purpose for writing and analysis of the documents. I am going to investigate this site for some tools and tricks. If you have any suggestions feel free to add them. I will post later this week soem of the results of our collaboration.

Comment by Nathaniel Porter on November 21, 2009 at 10:05pm: Teach middle school math and science in rural Maine, USA. Looking to try PBL at some level with my students as they are a group that thrives on work for meaning! Relevance rocks.

Comment by Marie Doherty on November 13, 2009 at 7:14pm: Hi everyone. I teach 10-12 year olds in a small school in Co Donegal in Ireland. I was working out of the classroom for 10 years and just started back in Sept. I am learning to teach again and trying to catch up with the developments in technology since I left the classroom. I really want to use a project based curriculum in my classroom but am struggling a bit. As yet I don't have a lot to offer here but I hope I'll get ideas and will share as soon as I get started!

Comment by Tara Craig on November 12, 2009 at 12:32am: I'm entering my second year in a 100% project based learning environment. I would love to build a community of sharing amongst those us that are practicing this in our classrooms.

Comment by Hadley Ferguson on October 24, 2009 at 5:57pm: I love the challenge of deciding what to focus the project on. I find I can't cover everything (I teach MS history), so what I choose has real weight. It is great for skills learning - critical in middle school - but I find I often feel I am skimming over some topics to get to where I want them to be for the next project.

I am doing the Constitutional Convention right now, each student building an identify as a representative from a certain state. It is great, but I blew through the causes of the war at 90 miles an hour to get time for it.

An interesting dilemna!
