Project Based Learning Websites
In researching PBL, I'm finding some useful links:
The Global School Net website is a clearinghouse for collaborative projects from all over the world. GSN's Projects Registry allows users to browse new projects and add/edit your own project announcement. You can select projects associated with defining criteria (subject area), technology tool (video/audio/blogs live conferencing etc.) or tools for collaboration. Once you submit your search, you will be given an list of active projects sorted by start date. A search for (language/audio, video, blog/electronic publishing) produced 18 hits of engaging projects that could easily be adapted for classroom use. Many of the projects were closed to registration, but they proved to be worthwhile projects that would suit the needs of a PBL activity for students.
This site categorizes language arts links into the sections of Reading/Viewing and Writing/ Speaking. The Reading/Writing resources are further divided into subsections genres, Reading Fundamentals, Text Comprehension and Visual Media Skills. The organization of these components makes the search for PBL projects much more intuitive and efficient. The projects are more readily found and the learning activities and assessments of the projects I viewed were on target with the standards one could use when considering a PBL project.
