Uden, L. & Beaumont, C (2006) Problem-based learning (PBL) has been the focus of many developments in teaching and learning facilitation in recent years. It has been claimed that PBL produces independent learners who are motivated, engaged in deep learning, work as a team, and develop effective strategies, skills and knowledge for life-long learning and professional work.  Technology and Problem-Based Learning  is aimed at educators who may be considering introducing PBL and need to know what it involves, its benefits and the practical details of how to implement it.

It also covers major issues including rationale for PBL, how to write effective problems, preparing students and tutors, being an effective facilitator, assessing students, dealing with problems, using IT. ...

Gagne's 9 Events of Instruction The following nine steps have been adapted from Gagné, Briggs, and Wager (1992). 1.

My second poster about Cognitive Styles

This is my poster about Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI)

My philosophy of education is that all children are unique and must have a stimulating educational environment where they can grow physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially.

I will provide a safe environment where students where students are invited to share their ideas and take risks. I believe that their are five essential elements that are conducive to learning. (1) the teachers role is to act as a guide. (2) Students must have access to hands-on activities. (3) Students should be able to have choices and let their curiosity direct their learning.  (4) Students need the opportunity to practice skills in a safe environment. (5)  Technology  must be incorporated into the school day.
