7. PROJECT BASED LEARNING- Ben Bache
Hopefully, everyone is in high spirits this week! I just added several more "Remote Ready" PBL Scenarios for you to send out. Again, these links can simply be forwarded to your students, or you can copy the entire scenarios right into the platform that is most convenient for you (Google Classroom, Schoology, Canvas, and so on). Here's the link with all of the scenarios: http://pblproject.com/page.aspx?pageid=Remote-Ready-PBLs
Among the new remote-ready PBLs are a few for early elementary ("Classroom Mascot", "Butterfly Garden", and "More Recess"), and also five more that I feel are a good fit for our current situation. They are:
--Dream Vacation (students decide on a vacation destination that surely beats being isolated at home): http://www.pblproject.com/page.aspx?pageid=Remote-Learning_Vacation
--Theme Park (on the topic of vacation, students choose a new theme for an amusement park they think would be a hit): http://www.pblproject.com/page.aspx?pageid=Remote-Learning_Theme-Park
--Comic Book Hero (because great heroes provide inspiration in times like these, and in this scenario students create their own): http://www.pblproject.com/page.aspx?pageid=Remote-Learning_Comic-Book-Superstar
--Motivational Poster (speaking of inspiration...): http://www.pblproject.com/page.aspx?pageid=Remote-Learning_Motivational-Poster
--Planning for the Flu (students should be experts on this by now... they decide on common sense initiatives a school should always have in place during flu season): http://www.pblproject.com/page.aspx?pageid=Remote-Learning_Flu
