Announcing: Upcoming Web Conference

Posted on March 8, 2011 by kristygjohnson

Please join us on Friday, March 18th, at 11:00 am, CST for our next PBCL web conference.

At this conference, we will be working to bring potential new practitioners into the conversation in a more direct way, with the goal of answering the basic questions that seem to waylay all new users.

Potential new users will be asked to help another new user work through the process of getting started with implementation of the PBCL process in their classroom. By being tasked with having to help another new user who is facing the same kinds of questions that they may be facing, we hope to initiate a discussion that will give new users more of an opportunity to give voice to their questions.

So please join us on Friday March 18th 2011, at 11:00am CST by clicking on the link below. See you then.

What do you do about ..

Posted on February 7, 2011 by kristygjohnson

PBCL and other similar approaches offer great benefits, but they seem to make it harder to assess student work and assign grades. Is this true? What do you do about it?
