How do you think problem based learning helps students experience & learn through real life situations?
I think the answer lies mainly in the authenticity of the PBL itself. Our recent PBL asked students to take stock of technology in their lives. This is something they must negotiate on a daily basis now. This dynamic will only intensify as technology advances so it makes complete sense that they wrestle with these issues now as a form of training for the future. How do you create connections for students between what they learn and today’s society? My primary tool in this area is practicing what I preach. I consistently emphasize to kids the importance of being informed about what’s going on in the world. As such, I need to know what’s going on in their world. I recently talked with kids about what happens on buses going to and from school. As you might guess, the older, more experienced (read, powerful) kids decide who sits where. In short there is a hierarchy of power. This has turned out to be a great tool for teaching social hierarchy in the ancient world. How do you show students
