My Project Work
My current project work is researching the PBL (project based learning) process at three levels, elementary, middle and high school. I am fortunate to work in an innovative environment that allows for me to co-facilitate pbl work at all levels 4th-12th grade.
What I have discovered this year is that I am really passionate about PBL work. Although I have known this all along being in an environment where the day to day reality allows for PBL work to occur fairly seamlessly is pretty amazing.
This year's journey has had some successes and some bumps along the way. I have documented the entire journey in another blog called "Two Educators, One Journey." The "Two Educators" blog consists of daily reflective posts not only on my PBL work but on the year in general.

End of Day Reflection
Today's goals:
- Have at least two groups send OHpedia to experts today.-Goal Accomplished-one middle school and one High School group sent these off.
- Conference with all groups on their writing/process.Got to most groups and ones that I did not get to Randy got to.
Things I am thinking about today:
- I really enjoyed learning alongside the students today. It was a struggle to find some of the benchmarks. As one student put it "pbl is frying my brain!" Overall I am really pleased with the project work but a little apprehensive about next week in terms of staying connected to the students while we travel. However, I am also really excited about trying it out. Things are really clicking with the work.
