PBL Book

     I just finished chapter 8 in the Reinventing Project-Based Learning book and have updated my livebinder with all the book URL ideas that were given.  This will be a great resource for me and other teachers on my campus to use when trying to look at different components of the PBL journey.  With all these ideas I'm still thinking about that initial set-up that needs to be laid out before we start the planning phase of classroom projects.  I'm looking forward to the Buck Institute professional development that I will be attending at the end of the month.  I'm hoping the PD given will answer a lot of those unanswered questions I have.  If you have any ideas on the up front planning before you start the planning phase of projects please share!

Introductions

     Hi my name is Bobbie Carter and I am a campus instructional coach at Harrison Intermediate School in Wylie ISD.  My campus will be embarking on a new journey this school year by using the project-based learning philosophy.  I'm currently reading the book Reinventing Project-Based Learning that the Buck Institute supports along with this PBL journey.  I wanted to start this blog in order to document my journey and collaborate with my fellow educators on ideas you may have to help me along my journey.  As a campus instructional coach I work with all subject areas so all ideas are helpful.  I look forward to receiving comments and I am currently on chapter 7 in the book.  The first two chapters focused on creating collaboration in social networking such as a blog.  I have also created a PBL livebinder to help document and organize all the ideas plus URL sites that the book shares.  When the livebinder is complete I will post it as a link to my blog.  I look forward to any beginning advise you can give me.
