Connected colleagues at SLA share case students of ways that they are integrating student choice and voice into their work as educational designers. HT @MeghanCureton
Wordpress site - with PBL resources - that Bo Adams and Jill Gough established for various ("beginners") workshops when they were teaching about PBL around the country.
A magnificent "PBL!"
"I am slowly learning to embrace the struggles that students experience as they engage with authentic work. If I don't allow learning to be messy, I eliminate authentic experiences for students as thinkers and creators. I find it important to regularly remind myself that frustration leads to insights and that learning is not necessarily the equivalent of mastery."

This 3min video from Breaker (and friend Juliette LaMontagne) is a good idea catalyst for how PBL can be sparked and framed.
A collaboration among universities and a high school around engineering and entrepreneurship. I think this is great stuff, AND I wonder why we tend to offer "this kind" of learning more in the summer -- why not in the academic year as much?

Great piece via @ThinkThankThunk about the perceptions and problems with the word "project" http://t.co/CHmMkMNgal #idiploma @boadams1 [HT @MeghanCureton]
Great questions asked "before granting resources to our students to begin working on their projects..."
Problem definition can be so much more critical than solution-ing.
Great piece on innovation, project-based learning, and the spaces that help energize such work and learning.

Want an INCREDIBLE example of curiosity-based, journey-driven learning? Follow Steve Goldberg's blog. Instead of bucket-ing curriculum in siloed subject areas, what if (at least part of) the school day launched from current events as a means for deep, integrated, transdisciplinary learning?!
