The Difference Between Projects And Project-Based Learning The Difference Between Projects And Project-Based Learning by TeachThought Staff Projects in the classroom are as old as the classroom itself. ‘Projects’ can represent a range of tasks that can be done at home or in the classroom, by parents or groups of students, quickly or over time. While project-based learning (PBL) also features projects, in PBL the focus is more on the process of learning and learner-peer-content interaction that the end-product itself. While some examples of project-based learning might be helpful, it’s also useful to understand the big picture: While PBL is a different approach to learning, it’s not hugely different from traditional learning from a broad enough perspective. By design, PBL is learner-centered. The chart by Amy Mayer at the bottom of this post is helpful to clarify that important difference between projects and project-based learning. Projects The audiences for projects are generally in the school The project is pre-planned and clear

What is PBL? To help teachers do PBL well, we created a comprehensive, research-based model for PBL — a "gold standard" to help teachers, schools, and organizations to measure, calibrate, and improve their practice. In Gold Standard PBL, projects are focused on student learning goals and include Essential Project Design Elements: The €100 lab: A 3D-printable open-source platform for fluorescence microscopy, optogenetics, and accurate temperature control during behaviour of zebrafish, Drosophila, and Caenorhabditis elegans Abstract Small, genetically tractable species such as larval zebrafish, Drosophila, or Caenorhabditis elegans have become key model organisms in modern neuroscience. In addition to their low maintenance costs and easy sharing of strains across labs, one key appeal is the possibility to monitor single or groups of animals in a behavioural arena while controlling the activity of select neurons using optogenetic or thermogenetic tools. However, the purchase of a commercial solution for these types of experiments, including an appropriate camera system as well as a controlled behavioural arena, can be costly. Here, we present a low-cost and modular open-source alternative called ‘FlyPi’. Our design is based on a 3D-printed mainframe, a Raspberry Pi computer, and high-definition camera system as well as Arduino-based optical and thermal control circuits.

5 Keys to Rigorous Project-Based Learning Five Keys Video Series See Edutopia's core strategies in action with our Five Keys video series. Take a deeper look at each strategy as we share the nuts and bolts of program implementation, give voice to examples from schools around the country, and illuminate the research behind the practices. VIDEO: Establishing Real-World Connections in Projects (Keys to PBL Series Part 1) Students are more engaged when learning relates directly to the world they live in. VIDEO: Building Rigorous Projects That Are Core to Learning (Keys to PBL Series Part 2) Project-based learning doesn't mean leaving standards behind. VIDEO: Structuring Collaboration for Student Success (Keys to PBL Series Part 3) PBL provides a unique opportunity to help students practice critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity. VIDEO: Embedding Assessment Throughout the Project (Keys to PBL Series Part 5) Assessment can be integrated seamlessly into project-based learning.
7 Critical Skills For the Jobs of the Future We live in a world of accelerating change. New industries are constantly being born and old ones are becoming obsolete. A report by the World Economic Forum reveals that almost 65 percent of the jobs elementary school students will be doing in the future do not even exist yet. Both the workforce and our knowledge base are rapidly evolving. Combined with the effects of technological automation on the workforce, this leaves us with a crucial question: What are the skills future generations will need? Education expert Tony Wagner has spent a lifetime trying to answer this very question. 1. We spend so much time teaching students how to answer questions that we often neglect to teach them how to ask them. Wagner notes the workforce today is organized very differently than it was a few years ago. Above all, this skill set builds the very foundation of innovation. 2. One of the major trends today is the rise of the contingent workforce. 3. 4. Are we teaching our youth to lead? 5. 6. 7.
Zambian tablet ZEduPad transforms classrooms into interactive hubs Whether it's learning how to read and write or setting up your own farm, a Zambian computer tablet -- known as the ZEduPad -- is trying to open up the country's information highway. The brain child of British tech entrepreneur Mark Bennett, the ZEduPad principally teaches users basic numeracy and literacy skills, aimed at primary school children. "It became clear that there was a huge need for this kind of technology," Bennett said, "particularly tablet technology, which has come a long way in Africa in recent years." After arriving in Zambia 30 years ago under the British Aid Program, Bennett worked in the computer department at the country's national university for over a decade before deciding to go it alone. "We can really do something very major for the first time," he said. Interactive learning The ZEduPad is programmed in eight different languages native to Zambia with over 12,000 preloaded classes and lesson plans for untrained teachers in rural areas, according to Bennett.

Research Spotlight on Project-Based Learning Found In: teaching strategies What is Project-Based Learning (PBL) and how long has it been around? As far back as the early 1900s, John Dewey supported the "learning by doing" approach to education, which is the essential element of PBL. Today, PBL is viewed as a model for classroom activity that shifts away from teacher-centered instruction and emphasizes student-centered projects. This model helps make learning relevant to students by establishing connections to life outside the classroom and by addressing real world issues. What does the research say about PBL? Handbook: Introduction to Project-Based Learning This article gives an introduction to PBL and a description of its benefits.

8 Steps To Design Problem-Based Learning In Your Classroom What Is Problem-Based Learning? by TeachThought Staff What is problem-based learning? One definition, if we want to start simple, is learning that is based around a problem. That is, the development, analysis, and thinking towards a problem drives student learning forward. We’ve been meaning to write a kind of beginner’s guide/primer to problem-based learning for, oh, about 18 months now and haven’t yet, so Mia MacMeekin’ss graphic here is going to have to do. The graphic eschews Mia’s usual squared, grid approach for something a bit more linear and comprehensive–an 8-step sequence to designing problem-based learning in your classroom. 8 Steps To Design Problem-Based Learning In Your Classroom 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
