There are many things we can learn from students and teachers about PBL. There are many blogs and videos on information about PBL.
Seven Essentials for Project-Based Learning
In this blog page, John Larmer and John R. Mergendoller explain the 7 essentials for PBL.
The seven essentials are:
1. A Need to Know
2. A Driving Question
3. Student Voice and Choice
4. 21st Century Skills
5. Inquiry and Innovation
6. Feedback and Revision
7. A Publicly Presented Product
These seven essentials are vital in make a PBL experience work properly. This blog page not only had 7 great essentials to PBL but its also states the two criterias for a project by stating this; "A project is meaningful if it fulfills two criteria. First, students must perceive the work as personally meaningful, as a task that matters and that they want to do well. Second, a meaningful project fulfills an educational purpose. Well-designed and well-implemented project-based learning is meaningful in both ways."
Project Based Learning for Teachers
In the youtube video, it also explains why PBL is important for teachers. It states that PBL has 4 parts: Questioning, Investigating, Sharing, and Reflecting. My favorite quote from this video is "I never teach my pupils, I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn." This quote reminds me of one of Dr. Stange's Motto "No more Burp-Back Education." This quote and PBL help this motto possible. By having PBL, teachers are helping students retain the information they learn and apply it to something.
