Project Based Learning Discussion

While working in the hallway I found myself drawn to a discussion of PBL. I recently took a class on PBL and couldn't help but join. There were lots of questions about how to convert a "traditional" unit into a PBL unit. I can't say I provided answers, but it was very nice to hear of others' struggles with PBL. Obviously, the draw of PBL is all the great stories of increase student engagement and achievement -- not the trials and travails that it takes to get there. It was also good to connect with colleagues after staring at my computer for so long.
