For the month of November our GAB topic of discussion is around project based vs. problem based learning.  How are they alike? Different? Is one better than the other.
Here are some links to explore prior to our discussion.  Join us and add your insight into this topic.
Problem-Based Learning and Project-Based Learning  (Primarily as applied to math)
Why Problem Based Learning is Better   Is it?
What about throwing in Inquiry Based Learning as well!

An Interesting Chart

Regardless of which label you give it, how can it be used as the means of assessment rather then the pencil and paper standardized tests?

 Join us and add your insight into this topic. Check out our November calendar for this and other up-coming events.

The Global Advisory Board and interested educators will be meeting on the 1^st and 3^rd Thursday of the month. The first Thursday, November 7th will meet at 9:00 AM EST. The third Thursday, November 21st  will meet at 8:00 PM EST. 

Our topic for November is to chart the similarities and difference between Project and Problem Based Learning. Each member will be asked to introduce themselves, the country they represent, and their reflection on the topic above. Everyone will have the opportunity to share their ideas and their work. If time permits, we will review and discuss the resulting chart.

NGGE believes that real-time challenges are more likely to showcase what learning has taken place then our current testing system.
