| Problem-Based Learning | ||
| This site defines PBI as a method in which learners are progressively given more responsibility for their own education. It also describes how PBL uses real world problems to stimulate learning, and to integrate and organize learned information in ways that will ensure its recall and application to future problems.

| Challenge 2000 Project-Based Learning & Multimedia Site | ||
| The Challenge 2000 Multimedia Project is a program in which students draw on real-life situations and research methods in order to design their own multimedia presentations. In addition to learning more about their course work and the use of technology, students also gain valuable workplace skills such as communication, planning, problem solving, and teamwork. At the fairs sponsored by the project, students can ultimately display samples of their work. ( http://pblmm.k12.ca.us/ ) | ||

| Evaluating: Grading and Scoring | ||
| Teach yourself what to grade by reviewing topics such as: informal vs. formal assessment, letter grades, other types of report cards, writing anecdotal notes, weighting grades and involving students in the evaluation process. ( http://www.eduplace.com/rdg/res/ch11.html ) | ||

| Assessment in a Constructivist Classroom | ||
| Rather than saying "No" when a student does not give the exact answer being sought, the constructivist teacher attempts to understand the student's thinking about the topic. Through nonjudgmental questioning, the teacher leads the student to construct new understanding and acquire new skills. ( http://www.ncrel.org/sdrs/areas/issues/methods/assment/as7const.htm ) | ||
