PBL Gets a "Make"-Over - Prompts, Scaffolding, and Assessment for the Maker Classroom

Sylvia Martinez

Ballroom West

Of course students should have powerful hands-on project-based experiences in the classroom - but how does that happen? This session will explore how to design engaging prompts with helpful (but not TOO helpful) scaffolding. We will also discuss how to manage the project process when students are using cutting edge technology integrated with iterative design. Participants will learn about new research on assessment for projects and real classroom practices with students using modern technology and materials and what leadership and administration can do to support these changes.
