Introduction to Project Based Learning (PBL) Process
I created this video overview of PBL for the teachers at my school. We implemented a new program in the elementary school that uses this effective teaching approach.
If you found that this video was valuable and would like to support my work, please check me out on PayPal or Patreon. Any support will help me to continue creating content like this. Thank you very much!
Here are some video examples of PBL projects we have done so far:
Update #1:
I want to mention that the Kindergarten Driving Question was changed during the year. Instead we came up with, “How will you, as an engineer, create a Rube Goldberg machine?“ It remains motivating and interesting, and requires core knowledge, but also easier to understand and a little more open-ended.
Additionally the PBL 101 Workbook is not available anymore. However you can find more PBL workbooks on the site.
Here are some of the other driving questions we’ve asked our students:
- How can we help our school become environmentally-friendly? (Kinder)
- How will you create a nature-inspired tool that can be used during a family activity? (1st Grade)
- How can you, as IDEO Toy Lab inventors, create a toy for kindergarten students? (2nd Grade)
- How can you develop a city plan that will improve the local community? (2nd Grade)
- How can we as architects, design a schoolhouse for a specific region? (3rd Grade)
- How can you as engineers design and create an “Apple” recording device for ELLs? (4th Grade)
- How will you prepare yourself to become a NASA Martian? (5th Grade)
- How will your team of game designers create a Breakout EDU game specifically for younger students? (5th Grade)
- How will you as environmental engineers, design, build and market a product that helps the environment? (5th Grade)
