These projects are sometimes conducted separately without any relation to the syllabus. That's why students' parents object the idea. However, if we integrate PBL in the curriculum as Bella suggested, it will be beneficial.<br /><br />Yours,<br />AzharAzhar Youssefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04435520937843550628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-889906271234362405.post-61232685415824397202010-07-26T00:06:51.396+03:002010-07-26T00:06:51.396+03:00Dear Azhar
Thank you for an informative summary o...Dear Azhar<br /><br />Thank you for an informative summary of the essential elements on WebQuests.<br /><br />I also agree that project -based learning is considered a solution for many problems related to students. However, consider this comment from a parent:<br /><br />"As a parent of a middle school student, I do not agree with this project based learning. The basics are not being taught to my child and I feel like he is not learning very much this year. All he has is one project after another and right now he has 4 projects he is trying to work on in 4 different classes. I am seriously considering homeschooling or a private school. http://www.edutopia.org/teaching-module-pbl-why."<br /><br />Food for thought! I believe PBLs might be effective in teaching but if poorly planned, they definitely cease to be.<br /><br />Yours<br />JulietAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-889906271234362405.post-55060958791164989732010-07-25T17:41:20.667+03:002010-07-25T17:41:20.667+03:00Dear, Azhar!
