After completing the ISTE U course, “Leading Project-based Learning with Technology”, the presenter realized she needed practice creating lessons that incorporate all that she learned to ensure her students benefited from this type of learning. The presenter also knows how daunting it can be to try something new in the classroom and not be fully prepared. In this session, participants will prepare and plan a project-based lesson that incorporates technology and aligns with the ISTE standards. The methods and templates that will be used come from the materials from the ISTE U course and additional ideas the presenter has found/created. Participants will leave with a PBL lesson plan started and a structure to ensure they're following a PBL model that works for them and their students.
During this session, the PBL process will be outlined and each part of the process will be modeled and followed by time for participants to work individually or in groups on their own PBL lesson. Suggestions for how to use technology at each step will be presented along with examples in the resources provided.
