The Autodesk Foundation is dedicated to the study, promotion, and evaluation of PBL and
they have gathered and produced many valuable ideas and resources on their Web site.
Their PBL Workbook, included
on this CD-ROM, provides tested information on incorporating project-based
learning into your curriculum.
- Join the Autodesk Foundation’s PBLNEWS/PBL Pointers Newsletter (http://www.autodesk.com/foundation/pblnews/ ),
their monthly email publication containing news, features, columns and other items for
teachers interested in project-based learning.
- Learn and Live™
- http://www.glef.org/learnlive
Learn and Live™, developed by the George Lucas Educational Foundation , offers extensive resources in book and video on
viable and interesting ways to integrate technology into teaching and learning. Learn and
Live can be ordered in print and video formats, or it can be viewed on the Web. We have
included on this CD two clips from the video which support project-based learning (You'll
need Real Player 5.0 http://www.real.com/ products/ player/ 50player/ to view). In the first video segment,
teacher Jim Dieckmann discusses with his 6th grade
class what an evaluation rubric for multimedia projects should look like. Later, Mr. Dieckmann talks with two of his students who have
been having difficulty locating the insect they want for their project. Their discussion
illustrates the flexibility often needed when students engage in project-based learning.

- An Exploration of Classroom Assessment
- www.irl.org/assess/assess.html
- Produced by the Institute
for Research on Learning , this
excellent CD-ROM/Web site is designed to help you improve your assessment system, design a
new system, or experiment with new assessment techniques. It encourages you to take time
to reflect on your current system, and then hear what other teachers have to say about
their assessment practices. It contains classroom video, teacher and student perspectives,
examples of student work and teacher tools, and expert commentary. The material is
organized into six Workshops and seven additional Discussion Starters. The CD-ROM, which
you can order from IRL, is a resource that should be in every school's library. While
you're visiting IRL, be sure you also visit these two links:
