Project-Based Learning Resources for the Classroom
Bringing project-based learning into your classroom can be
intimidating if you don’t know where to start. In this webinar,
Paul Gigliotti and Lynn Erickson, experienced educators and tech
lovers, will show you the fundamentals of project-based learning
and share helpful ways to engage students in performance-based
tasks to connect them to real-world situations and future careers.
In addition, you will gain access to lesson examples, rubrics,
templates and other useful resources for implementing a
project-based classroom.
The webinar will take place on Tuesday, October 1 as well as
Thursday, October 24.
Surface Learning vs. Deep Learning: How Technology Can Help
Students Think Deeper
Is surface learning or deep learning more important? Join
educator Kelly Bielefeld in a discussion about the importance of
both surface and deep learning. Too often, teachers stop at basic
knowledge and students aren’t challenged to dig deeper into the
content. Other times, teachers move too quickly past the surface
level knowledge and students fail to transfer learning and apply it
in a critical way. In this webinar, learn how various uses of
technology can assist teachers in ensuring surface knowledge and
transfer of learning are both attained, so students can move to
higher levels of critical thinking about the content.
The webinar will take place on Tuesday, October 8 as well as
Tuesday, October 29.
A Robotic Odyssey: How Robotics Is Helping Prepare Students
to be Tomorrow’s Inventors, Programmers and Astronauts
Join Jim Christensen and Stephen Barker for a discussion about
how robotics can help set students up to become the next generation
of STEM professionals. Explore how robotics programs can help
students develop an understanding of STEAM-based concepts while
promoting valuable real-world skills such as communication,
collaboration, creativity and critical thinking. These skills can
help prepare students to take on complex STEM majors in college and
careers in the future.
This webinar will take place Wednesday, October 16.
