Reinventing Project Based Learning: Your Field Guide to Real-World Projects

Welcome - PBL meets Web 2.0

Hello and welcome the SigTE Book Discussion: Reinventing Project Based Learning by Jane Krauss and Suzy Boss available at ISTE.
This book discussion group is an opportunity for educators from various schools, disciplines, regions of the world, and perspectives on teaching and learning. The book links theory and practice to 21st century skills. Project-based learning (PBL) is presented in the context of the revised NETS for students.

Discussion Format

As a learning community we are here to share ideas and experiences about PBL based on a terrific new ISTE book Reinventing PBL. You don't have to finish the book to join in, you can jump ahead, or you can even go back. There are sections on this ning to share videos. photos and other resources. The forums below are meant as discussion starters, but don't feel locked into them. Just jump in anywhere anytime with your ideas and experiences as we travel through our learning journey together.
