Project Based Learning

The PBL project I liked the best was "Hiking the Appalachian Trail" because I think it had the most interesteding topic, the guildlines were straightforward and had an end result that required critical thinking. As someone who has actually hiked part of the Appalachian Trail before, I know how important it is to prepare correctly and how large of a project it turns out to be. It askes students to come up with what problems they think they will face on the AT and create a product/presentation (How far help of a telephone is on any give point of the trail was the exampled used) for the class. I think that this PBL project is the best because it sparks the most interest and encourages students to acutally hike the Appalachian Trail some time in the future. And since it is an interesting project I think/hope the students would really get into it and get the most out of this PBL. Print Page in IE
