The website provides the initial paths to student exploration and investigation.
The website is an efficient self-guided resource center that responds to students/families' questions and needs 24-7 leaving room for important coaching and guidance during the time-on-task in the classroom.
A useful guided research website should include the following:
- Project introduction and checklists.
- Project examples and exemplars.
- Project research resources, both online and offline.
- Project Enrichment
The website should not be static, but instead serve as a flexible piece that morphs and changes as students' needs, standards, and resources change.
Utilizing a website as the home base for project/problem base learning brings all students and their families into 21st century learning and design, and prepares our students for the information-laden, connection-full world where they will one day independently live, learn, and work.
Here's an example of our latest project website. What would you add? What would you take away?
