Project Based
Learning
Media Blender
Introductions, Breaks, Outcomes
(Project
Based Learning handout)
Expected Outcomes
& Overview
- Participants will have increased knowledge of
Project Based Learning enhanced by technology and how it will improve
learning for their
students.
- Participants will have increased skill in use
of MediaBlender software.
As we return from lunch:
With a partner, view this presentation and
create a chart in Inspiration or Word to describe what PBL is and what
PBL isn't.
Share out and record. Discuss the importance of a good
question. (Quick chart in Excel see Handout)
PBL and
Technology Pair up to Make a
POWERFUL Experience for Our Students!
Your task will be to find at least one
WebQuest or Cyberguide that you can use with your students before the
end of this school year. You will make a presentation, using
MediaBlender for your students. It may be about PBL, the project
that you have selected, or a sample of a presentation that your students
may create. Take notes as you research. You may work alone,
with a partner, or with a very small group. Send your plans or
presentations to Karen or Kathy.

Four Ways to
Differentiate Instruction:
Differentiation can occur in the content, process,
product or environment in the classroom. Technology can be a powerful
tool to help us to do that.
1. Differentiating the Content/Topic
2. Differentiating the Process/Activities
· Use MTG or other
data for purposeful grouping
· Website reading level
o Brandon’s method in word
o KidsClick directory
babblefish
www.world.altavista.com
· Use
translation tool in browsers to change English to student’s language
· Use images
o
Search for specific images by name
http://www.picsearch.com
o Use the online picture dictionary (follows)
· Ebooks that read to
students,
books on tape or CD
· Software for students (Cool textbook modifications to come!)
· Movies (United Streaming or browser search), Sounds
· Visually impaired, larger print, voice software
3. Differentiating the Product products
· Kids can write
their own proposal (Egypt
project, Student Led Conferences – “I
should not be the hardest working person in my classroom.”)
· Email interview with an
expert
· Newspaper
· Comic book
· Museum display
· Children’s book
· Video
· PowerPoint
· Web page (geocities,
freewebz)
4. Differentiating By Manipulating the
Environment or Through Accommodating Individual Learning Styles

Expected Outcomes
- Participants will have increased knowledge of
ways to use 1-3 computers and projection device or TV
monitor/computer hookup to facilitate student learning
- Participants will have at least one written
plan for use.
Welcome to a day without bells, with time to learn,
collaborate and plan.
Introductions, breaks, restrooms, too much talking
came up at a concern at previous workshops
-
Connect to NETS standards
-
Use computers as your students do
-
Time to work in groups, share ideas and time to reflect
-
Create a plan to take back to your classrooms.
How are the “grant” computers and viewing devices
currently being used, and how you would like to use them? Form “Job
Alike” groups to be seated at tables. Brainstorm ideas on, using chart
paper.
Organizational Models to Promote
More Student Computer Use
|
Strategies to set students on classroom computes |
Examples |
|
Centers
- Divide class into 5 groups. Groups rotate through
activities at stations, usually around the same learning
goals. Computer is one station. All students rotate
through. (You could differentiate for special needs by
modifying the centers.)

-
Tour Lascaux Web activity
-
Paint Cave art
-

-

-

Jigsaw -
Topic is divided into sections, groups of students become
experts on that topic and “teach”/present information |
Biomes
Greek
figures in the arts and sciences
Achievements in Tang and Sung Dynasties |
|
Rotate -
Students are given a computer task, and are rotated to the
computer. They are excused from the class work. |
