BLOG-9

Today I looked at a website for Chapter 2 resources. This website was Harnessing the Web. This goes directly with this chapter in the ISTE book on Planning and Designing Learning Environments and Experiences.

The website begins at a tutorial home page. This page beings with 5 sections that have to do with becoming involved in a community for online learning projects and gives resources and ideas and information. These five sections are also listed at the side of the page as links instead of labeled sections. A is an Introduction to Project Based Learning (PBL), B is Finding Projects, Partners, and Collaborative Tools, C is Making Online Projects, D is Library of References, Readings, and Resources, and E is Friendship through Education. Outside of these 5 sections there is also a sections for Workshops. Included is also a Terms of Use and a Contact Us section.

This website interested me a lot because we had just learned about PBL in Dr. Bond's Brain Based Learning class. When making an online project or looking for a PBL lesson this would be a helpful resource when I begin teaching in my classroom. We know that these are not the most current resources, so I would be interested in finding a more updated website similar to this one to use for information in my classroom in the future.

  1. Well, even though the site may not be within the last coupe of years, the information it has continues to be true and potentially useful.

    Thanks!
