Question # 2
How will students find answers
to solve the problems?
A team searched for answers to the problem
 in books and articles,
 on websites.
 by doing observations in relevant places.
 by talking to teachers and experts.

Adapted from
http://www.ascd.org/publications/educational_leadership/sept10/vol68/num01/Seven_Essentials_for_Project-Based_Learning.aspx
Some students wanted to redesign an underutilized courtyard space on a
school campus.

What did they do:


 They drafted, revised and presented their ideas in formal presentations
to their classmates.
 They met with architects, who shared their own plans and took student
suggestions.

Experts from the local community such as scientists, politicans
or business leaders can
 be involved in the design of project-based experiences,
 mentor students throughout the process,
 participate on panels that review and evaluate the final
projects in collaboration with teachers.

Question # 3
On which social media will you
share results of your work?
Problem based learning helps students realize that
their work has the potential to move and even change
the hearts and minds of others, for example when
people watch their video on YouTube.
