Session

Open Source Project-based Learning

Scott LeDuc, Instructor, Capital High School

Track: Education
Date: Sunday, July 22
Time: 12:10pm - 12:40pm
Location: c123

Engaged students! Happy teachers! Impressed administrators! Successful project-based classrooms improve learning. Managing them can be challenging. How does one pull off a personable classroom where students are motivated, engaged, and striving for excellence without burning out?

We highlight the greatest hits of classroom management and online technology tools that help turn a classroom in an exiting, dynamic learning community. Observe the teacher in the role of academic leader, guide on the side, and expert learner. Witness the curriculum as a tool for quality learning community creation, and evaluation. Revel in a world of students as life-long learners, project authors, teachers, mentors, curriculum developers, and evaluators.

Gain an understanding of our specific example where technology and creativity work to create a dynamic and manageable 21st century classroom. Come experience tools and techniques used to create this academic utopia. It does exist and it can help kids perform better on the WASL!
