CEDU 521 Week 2

This weeks emphasis on PBL was a nice follow up from the first week. The video from edutopia, narrated by Robin Williams, was a good one and made a further case for the value of PBL. The discussion towards the end of class on Feb 20th focused on the "end-all-be-all" of PBL. I guess I'd like to think that we, as teachers are trained to meet the needs of our class. We know whether a group of our students needs the structure of more formal work or whether they can handle the environment of a PBL. Issues of: How long should a project go? Who should generate the question? I think the answers to these good questions are going to be different from year to year to best meet the needs of our students.
