Reminder you will be building your own credit at the close of this event. Each session will count 1.2 hours towards your credit. You will collect certificates throughout the event to submit in MyLearningPlan at the conclusion of reIGNITE 2019. Digital Sessions will require the Digital Learning Artifact: bit.ly/jcpsdlcartifact.
Note: If you are attending with your PLC members you might consider signing up for the same reIGNITE Calibration session (Learn 1) so that you can have common language in the coming year.
Learning Objectives & Rationale: Participants will: — Characterize the elements of problem-based learning. — Experience problem-based learning through the free Smashboard Edu game. — Collaborate to develop an actionable solution to a problem faced by our students using the Smashboard Edu process. — Determine ways to incorporate problem-based learning and Smashboard Edu into their content area.
Participants will learn the basic format of problem-based learning by experiencing it in a gamified format through Smashboard Edu. We will offer multiple options of problems to solve, all directly related to student learning, which models choice and authentic learning. By the end of our collaborative session, participants will also feel empowered to put their plan into action! We will showcase the learner agency that relevant, problem-based learning can inspire in our students across any content area or grade level.
Modalities/Implementation Practices: Participants will experience the Smashboard Edu method as a learner. We will use Google Sites and Slides to house our materials and model effective use of these digital tools.
