EDUC+7106+PBL+Instructional+Unit+Project

//A work in progress...//

//During this course, I'll explore strategies for effectively integrating technology into my content area instruction using problem-based learning. I'll also examine additional advantages of using technology, including how it can help me develop and implement instruction and assessments that meet my students' diverse learning needs. //

I will:

(1) select an authentic problem to serve as the focus of my instructional unit; (2) identify the logistics and goals of the unit; (3) create an outline of the teaching unit that tells how I will introduce the problem, indicates ideas of learning activities leading up to the authentic assessment project, and, provides information on possible authentic assessment projects that will demonstrate student learning; (4) devise a 3-part lesson plan that introduces the authentic problem to be solved, indicates the learning activities in which students will engage, and, delineates the components of the authentic assessment project that will culminate the unit; (5) create an assessment rubric for the final artifact students will produce; (6) assess the relevance of my instructional unit for diverse learners; and, (7) evaluate the effectiveness of the instructional unit, making modifications if necessary.

I have created a wiki ( EDUC 7106 PBL Instructional Unit Project Wiki  ) that will serve as my work space throughout the entire instructional unit development process.
