Project Planning Resources

Are you in need of a few new PBL resources? Last week I started to sift through my Pocket and sort the resources I think may be the most helpful. Let me know if you find them useful. 

Project Planning

If you're searching for PBL project ideas check out the Buck Institutes PBLU site where you will find not only project ideas, but also the project plan and other essential documents needed for the project. 

Do you need a one-stop-shop for PBL information? Check out the New Tech Network Daily where they've complied blogs, twitter feeds, recent articles, videos worth mentioning and other resources. You can even subscribe to stay current on their updates. 

BAMRadio is your connection to educators radio. If you're looking for resources for parents, teachers or students look at the Pod-casts & resources this website has to officer. 

Voice & Choice
With an emphasis this quarter on Voice & Choice I've used these articles and resources with my team to guide us in writing our PBL projects. First, I used the step-by-step plan which I found most helpful in thinking through the process. I used Danez Smith's TEDx talk to introduce the need for Voice & Choice and also StuVoice as an additional resource. 

My Favorite Find

My favorite find this week was a 5 minute Film Festival called "Freedom to Fail Forward." It's a playlist of videos that showcase examples of failing forward. Whether you're highlighting Carol Dweck's Growth Mindset or just teaching the importance of failure, these are a must see.  Here is my favorite.
