A collection of resources for PeBL Mentors at Sun West School Division.
This article looks at a short and sweet way to try PBL/Inquiry/Passion Projects/Genius hour,
You can do this for a day or a week.
At Sun West we have access to: Learn 360, Criterion on Demand and ACF.
These resources allow you to stream educational videos and movies (from current to old). Learn 360 goes well beyond this with resources from everything from videos, interactives, science experiments, maps, fact sheets, math activities and an encyclopedia.
The attached document has 14 ideas for things students can do when their classroom work is done. Download the list below. For younger or older students you can modify the list if needed.
This one page document provides an excellent explanation in brief of what PeBL is. This is a great place to start when learning about the PeBL philosophy at Sun West.
