Robert Johnson's curator insight, July 17, 2015 1:05 PM

This video is from the Buck Institute for Education's PBL World conference held in June of 2015. This is the keynote address from Jamie Casap. This is a great video if you are interested in BIE's way of project-based learning and much easier than going to the actual conference. He discusses the benefits of PBL and how teachers can get in the right frame of mind for a successful PBL unit.

The Buck Institute for Education (BIE) is a go to site for learning about Problem-Based Learning, and they are offering four free one-week courses during February and March. The courses are:

* How to Create a Driving Question

* How to Manage Student Presentations

* How to Assess Critical Thinking

* How to Include Content and Competencies

You may register for the first two courses now. Registration for the other two will open on Feb. 4, 2015.

Additional information is available on the courses at the website (click through to the course).

There is a maximum enrollment of 300 so if you are interested in checking these out it would be good to go to the website sooner rather than later.
