Problem Based Learning

I did not know anything about PBL prior to MEDT 7464. However, after completing the discussion on PBL and brainstorming lessons to integrate into several subjects, I feel PBL is a great tool for student engagement in the classroom. PBL allows for diversity to take place in learning. It creates an atmosphere where the students are in the driver's seat of their learning. I feel that PBL strategies will help students understand and remember the important aspects of what they are learning. I enjoyed reading my colleagues ideas to integrating the subjects to compile a PBL activity. There were some great ideas shared and I have forwarded those that were applicable to the teachers I work with.
