PBL 1: Project Launch FAQ

Does this course ONLY apply to PBL teachers?

  • While many of the Project Based Learning courses can apply more broadly to a classroom experience, the Project Launch is more focused for PBL teachers. That said, it will certainly give traditional classroom teachers some great ideas for how to approach classroom projects!

Is this course mobile-friendly?

  • Yes! The intentional design for this PBL pathway is for teachers to have choice in their learning, so you can learn with your phone, tablet, or computer.

What is the best way to take these courses?

  • We suggest that you avoid "binge watching" the PBL series.  While lots of ground will be covered, you want the material to translate into practice.  Our recommendation is to move through them one course each week so that you have time to read and reflect.  If you desire a faster completion, we suggest no more than 1 course every other day.  That way, you learn and then apply before moving on to the next.
