The Teacher As Change Agent: Project Based Learning and Design Thinking
My interview with Leah Henry was very inspiring and my goal in this post is to simply share the resources Leah mentioned, as well as some I found. I was watching School of Rock last week. I had seen it before and loved it, but watching with the lens of project based learning this time around got me so excited. I was envisioning this post being my spin on the movie and its connection to PBL. Then I thought, I bet this idea has already been thought of and I was positive that someone who knew more than me about PBL had already written about it. I was right! Lee Hewes wrote a very thorough blog post entitled How is Dewey Finn’s Class Project in “School of Rock” Project Based Learning? Thanks for saving me the time, Lee!
