In PBL the teacher really puts the shell of the project together, creating the tasks, organizing the references, web links and etc. But in CBL the process is more student driven, They decides on the direction of the project. They make many of the decisions in order to reach their solution or answer the challenge. Hi John The biggest difference between CBL and PBL isvup front work.

Project Based Learning is a big tent, and the challenges as described here fit under it. Well-designed PBL definitely emphasizes process as much as product, and solving authentic challenges is one of the best ways to frame a PBL experience.

Fancy seeing you here! Fantastic to hear about the results of your project. Sensational! My school, Ringwood North Primary in Victoria, Australia, also participated alongside Liz's school in the 'Challenge Based Learning' project. Training was held in January and we returned to Australia to kick off our challenge at the commencement of a new school year. Our challenge was focused on the big idea of 'Resilience', and our students ultimately went about trying to provide support and encouragement for communities affected by a natural disaster. A fair challenge for 138 10-12 year olds! Trying to get your head around a new framework, as well as training our teachers and getting organized were big challenges for us. We needed to get the students collaborating more often than just at school times for this to work. We predicted we would not have time to train up students on how to operate and manage a wiki, CMS or some other network solution. Add to the mix we are trialling the use of iPads for each of our Y=ear 5/6 students involved in the project. Enter Edmodo.. While I had looked at Edmodo before, having an authentic reason to use it brought me to revisit it. It was no doubt one of the keys to the success of our project. Our students immediately figured out the intuitive nature of the setup and were straight into it. They have used Edmodo to update progress to teachers and one another, share resources and keep track of their progress. And with the latest release of the Edmodo app, access is only a touch away on the iPad. So a big thanks to Edmodo for creating such an amazing tool specifically for schools. We continue to use Edmodo in our new CBL challenges, as well as extend it to organizing new groups for homework, subject areas, etc. We are also starting to bring our parents online as a way of improving communication throughout this area. The possibilities are endless. I look forward to the future developments of Edmodo, as it sounds as though there are some impressive things ahead. I really look forward to the day when we can upload a picture, document, pdf etc straight from the iPad. This is the only thing we cannot do straight from the device. So, thanks Edmodo, great work Liz. Maybe we could get a CBL challenge working via Edmodo once school starts back for you? G’day Liz! Fancy seeing you here!
