Here's a guide for teachers who want to implement project-based learning activities. What makes this one different? It has a technology focus for the 21st century by addressing web 2.0 tools - wikis, blogs, podcasting, skype, flickr etc.
Boss, S., Krauss, J. & Conery, L. (2008). Reinventing project-based learning:
Your field guide to real-world projects in the digital age. Washington, DC:
International Society for Technology in Education.
The title of this book caught my attention because it mentions that dreaded word - "test". The first part of the book reviews differentiating instruction and then includes model projects for the four core subject areas.
Schlemmer, Phil & Schlemmer, Dori. (2007). Teaching beyond the test:
Differentiated project-based learning in a standards-based age: For grades 6 & up.
Minneapolis: Free Spirit Publishing.
I'm going to have to check that project-based learning site out. It sounds very interesting. Especially since it focuses on integrating today's technology into the project-based process. I'm interesting in using more project-based instruction in my own classroom.
