PBL Resources

"PBL teaches ambiguity by not giving students a clear picture of the problem at hand. In PBL, students are faced with many uncertainties that they must resolve before actually answering the question. PBL helps students to become life long learners by requiring them to apply the knowledge they have learned to everyday or real-life problems. PBL teaches students that it is not enough to know information, but that you must be able to use the information you have in a meaningful and productive way. Lastly, PBL allows students to be mobile by offering them opportunities to learn in places besides the classroom or at home.  Students might find the answer to a question from an expert on the internet, or get help from someone in a grocery store. Because PBL models real-world problems, it shows students that learning can take place anywhere anytime."
