Enhancing Student Learning Through Project-Based Learning and Global Collaboration
This project focuses on shifting the educational emphasis from teaching content to learning outcomes through Project-Based Learning (PBL). It explores collaborative opportunities within schools and globally, fostering deeper engagement with real-world issues, like water use around the world. Educators will learn to implement TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) to effectively plan and assess projects. Participants will consider challenges and strategies for PBL implementation while identifying essential content standards and skills students will acquire throughout the learning process.

Shifting the focus from what you teach to what students learn Project-Based Learning
Opportunities for Collaboration • Within Schools • Project Based Learning • Global Collaboration • Global Education • Classroom 2.0
Global Collaboration • http://globaleducation.ning.com/forum/topics/water-use-around-the-world • What TPACKnowledge is needed to implement this project?
Project Planning in Schools • PBL Planning • How could this be adapted to use with your students? • What would some of the challenges be? • How could potential challenges be overcome? • Do you see this as a valuable approach to teaching and learning? • PBL Planning Guide • Summarize the theme for this project. Why do this project? • Identify the content standards that students will learn in this project (two to three per subject). • Identify key skills students will learn in this project. List only those skills you plan to assess (two to four per project). • Identify the habits of mind that students will practice in this project (one to two per project) • Does the project meet the criteria for standards-focused PBL?
TPACK & Technology • Project-Based Learning with Technology • TPACK – Generative Level of Implementing Technology
