[Week 4]

Data collection

While I have significantly review literature on project-based learning,  visited the Columbus Signature Academy (a project based learning high school), and also observed a one-day follow up workshop of the PBL Academy (project based). And so, I feel quite familiar with project based learning. However, I am less familiar with problem based learning. Unfortunately, there is not time for me to investigate problem based learning to the degree that I have project based learning, and so, for the time, I am going to have to take a quick and dirty look. Here are the resources I am using:

Assembling this data into an infographic is going to take some doing!
