I searched Google Images with the phrase project based learning. The results of the search produced the image located at http://edtech.boisestate.edu/krice/PBL/modules.gif.
I chose this image because it replicates the sequence of steps in which educators and librarians can follow when utilizing the teaching strategy implementing project based learning. The tutorial defines the concept of project based learning (PBL) and each corresponding step presented in the image. During the search process the image was found to be part of a paper from Kerry Lynn Rice, M.S. http://edtech.boisestate.edu/krice/PBL/developing_an_interactive_course.htm which sites the website Project Based Learning, The Online Resource for PBL at the link http://pbl-online.org/default.htm. When retrieved from the website, the image is interactive so that each module can be explored. I noticed that this image was being posted by other individuals’ blogs or wikis. It was an interesting search in itself to locate the origin of the image. I found the image helpful in understanding how to create this type of learning environment. For example, in the first module, Begin with the End in Mind, it has 6 areas or exploration and 2 areas for practice: Develop a Project Idea, Decide the Scope of the Project, Select Standards, Incorporate Simultaneous Outcomes, Work from Project Design Criteria, Create the Optimal Learning Environment, Choose a Strategy, and Choose a Project. This image led me to an amazing website.
