What matters most is not the moment when the student uses the technology but how that use promotes improvement in that student's education. - S. Ehrmann

    Your final multimedia presentation should be a comprehensive presentation of your overall Project Based Learning (PBL) project. This project will demonstrate all of the aspects of your planning, activities, assessments, links, images, sounds, rationales, etc.  There will be a minimum of 10 slides for PowerPoint.  Your project must start with a curriculum-based standard. Click on the link below for a list of the California State Standards for K-12th grade.

    PBL is an instructional method in which the student has control of their learning. The teacher role is more of a coach, guide, and/or facilitator.  The students are asking real world questions that are also standards-based, researching the answers to those questions, synthesizing the information, and producing a multimedia presentation of what they learned.  PBL provides opportunities for both students and teachers: PBL gives students the best opportunity to use and develop higher level thinking skills and it provides the teacher a current approach for integrating computer technology with standards-based curriculum.
