034: Living On The Edge of Chaos Podcast with Ginger Lewman

You are in for a treat with this episode. My great friend and educational hero, Ginger Lewman, was kind enough to spend some quality time discussing project based learning, quality learning, and a ton of other powerful concepts in this latest podcast episode.

If you have not check out her work, then you must check the resources at the bottom of this page.

I recently read her latest book and after reading the book, scribbling mass notes in the margins, and being reminded about the key things we must be doing in schools I just had to pick her brain some more.

In this episode we cover some key questions such as:

1. What is project based learning?
2. What are the common misunderstandings of pbl?
3. Are shorter projects better?
4. What is the importance of Wows, Hows, and Bows?
5. How do we get started with pbl?
6. How do we make pbl work within the confines of the school system?
7. Why did we get into the profession of teaching in the first place?
