It's not hard to tell that educators love our acronyms! This summer I have spent the last six weeks working with some very innovative teachers in an online professional development course on project based learning (PBL). It got me to thinking on how will what I've learned about PBL go along with our BYOD initiative. My thoughts...they should play very nicely together. So what resources are useful when doing a major project and students are using their own devices? Here are some suggestions:
1. Evernote-See the previous blog post for more information on this wonderful tool!
2. Wikis-What purpose does a wiki have in project based learning? Here are a couple of different ways to use a wiki. It
can be a place for team members to collaborate and share their research and links. It can also be used as part of the final project by having students create a wiki of their own to present their learning.
3. Edmodo-Edmodo is a social networking site created especially for education. Again this would be a great resource for team members to collaborate and communicate to one another during class and outside of class. This site also provides teachers with a way to share instructions, assignments, and resources to all their groups.
If you have other sites that will be helpful, please feel free to share!
