Digital Promise - Challenge Based Learning
Link: cbl.digitalpromise.org/
Recently, Apple Computer sponsored a webinar on Challenge Based Learning. In it, they discussed the basic ideas behind Challenge Based Learning - “Challenge Based Learning is an engaging multidisciplinary approach to teaching and learning that encourages students to leverage the technology they use in their daily lives to solve real-world problems.” They discussed the strategies they’ve developed to implement challenge based learning into the classroom teaching environment. They shared a pdf document, “Challenge Based Learning - A Classroom Guide” with each participant. I asked Michelle Smith, Apple Inc - Inside Account Executive, if I could share this with teachers. She checked with Apple Corporate, and they gave me permission to share this document with you, as well as the website (above and illustrated at right).
Download PDF: Challenge Based Learning-A Classroom Guide The site contains a wealth of information about Challenge Based Learning - be sure to look through each section: Key Components, Process, Challenges, CBL Pilot, Resources, and Participate. Each section contains videos, resource links, and information that will help you get started with this type of learning in your own classroom, as well as help you connect to others who are trying to do the same.
I think as you research these materials and resources, you’ll find ideas and methodology that will excite and energize you as a teacher. I think your students will respond the same way.
