PLANNING
- Initial questions were basic
- Used one group as example
- Googleable questions were re-worked
- Sorted into topics and "other"
- What we could do to impact society?
Example:
One group asked how chemotherapy worked. I asked them to Google it and in about 3 minutes, they had a general idea of how it worked. I asked them to now think about what they know about chemotherapy and create a new question. They came up with "How can we create medications that treat cancer patients but do not have the side effects associated with todays medications?"
Once we worked through this as a large group, they got it. They were taking the Googleable questions and reworking them into questions without answers.
Once all the questions were formulated, we then approached the questions through the lens of "How can we use our knowledge to answer this question and better our community or society?"
From this, all of my class PBL's were created -- all from student input.

Students are becoming creators of content, instead of retainers of information. They take what they learn and teach it to others. They could choose any aspect of diet and nutrition for their project and could create anything they wanted to teach their objectives.
Students used Explain Everything, Educreations, ThingLink, iMovie, and Book Creator, to name a few. The products get more and more creative each time we add to this project. They are competing with each other for publication.
In order to teach something, you truly have to understand it. My students are learning on a deeper level than they ever have in the past, and they don't even realize it. :)
