Project Based Learning Weblinks

I came across the Edutopia website the other day, and even though it is American based, some of the information and articles do look pretty interesting.  If you get a few moments, you may enjoy having a quick 'squiz' through some of the links below.

Genre's and Weblinks

The latest genre display is up - and it is DIARY this time.  
There's a range of titles from historical to humour, and hopefully will appeal to a range of tastes.  

Below are also some links taken from the 'Conversation' blog, about educational thoughts and ideas.  I have just grabbed a few that could be topical, so maybe log on and have a look for yourselves.

STEAM - powering today's classroom

Below are a few links to articles about schools and STEAM in classrooms and the benefits or otherwise to our students.  I found the one about Math and STEM being a social justice issue fascinating, especially given my inherent dislike of maths and numbers.
  
Take a look when you have a moment and see what you think.
