Using specific classroom scenarios, teachers explore characteristics and benefits of Project-Based Learning (PBL). Throughout the course, teachers consider their own teaching practice
as they follow a teacher new to project-based learning who discusses strategies with a mentor teacher. Planning and project design modules guide teachers through organizing the curriculum, the classroom, and students for successful 21st century projects. The assessment module demonstrates strategies for assessing students’ 21st century skills throughout an open-ended project. The course offers opportunities to apply the PBL concepts with action planning exercises.
Includes models of meaningful classroom projects, along with tools and strategies for developing your own exemplary technology-supported units. Topics include project design, thinking skills, a unit plan index, and instructional strategies.

The purpose of this assignment is to study in-depth the conditions and diseases of the human body. It is almost impossible to read the newspaper or watch TV without hearing about human diseases, new cures, drugs and treatments and the state of our health care system.

We have seen many changes in our world in the last year and we feel this theme is reflective of what is going on in the world around us. So our charge to the students this year was for them to create a movie that reflected change. This change could be positive or negative, it could have personal, local or global affect, and it had to have value beyond the classroom setting.
