Get+Started!

How do I start? Where do I start?

Begin with the end. Start with the objective--what is it that you want the students to accomplish/create/make? Now, think backward. .. what are the tools needed to build it?

Here are a few websites that you can use as a "toolbox"--explore different tools and how they can be used. Talk with teachers who are working toward these same goals. Ask for help (Pam can come to help you plan, find a tool, even guide your students through the technology!)

PBL Exemplary Lessons -- this website lists exemplary projects with tons of information to help you implement your own project-based learning.

PBL online -- Ideas for creating project-based lessons.

Web Tools 4 You to Use -- a wiki created to help you find the __right__ tool for your objective.

Critical Thinking -- mouse over "Where to Begin" and choose from helpful links to get started--or choose your grade level for specific ideas.

ePals -- one of the largest educational collaborative community websites.

21st Century Educational Technology and Learning -- a blog with resources and ideas for use.
