Bloomboard is your PBL Mecca

As a teacher, I spend a LOT of time searching, researching, reading, making folders (digital or physical) full of useful materials, purchasing materials, scoping out videos, and more...all in search of professional and classroom resources and professional development. Often I’ve thought, “Why are we all running around like chickens with our heads cut off searching for materials, and then starting over again the next time. It’s SUCH a waste of our precious, limited time!”  Wouldn’t it be nice if someone, some magical force, could do the searching for us, sift through the crap, and CURATE awesome collections of resources for educators for FREE? Well, my friends, your resource curator hero is here: Bloomboard.

​I am so pumped about this cornucopia of plenty filled with educational resources to the brim. We’re talking articles, blog posts, videos, printables, and more. The best part is that the site is so easily and visually organized and searchable. CLEARLY the folks at Bloomboard understand the needs, struggles, and time constraints that we educators face on a daily basis. They are here to maximize your efforts and minimize time. For that, I’m extremely grateful and super excited for what this resource can mean to teachers and classrooms all over.
​

Find out the basics, and build your interest by checking out the info directly from the Bloomboard informational page, pictured below. The best part is that once you’re intrigued...you can sign up for FREE (YES--absolutely free) and explore at your own pace, not worrying about cost or limits!

 //  I AM in PBL HEAVEN!  //

If you follow this blog or my Scholastic Top Teaching blog posts, you know that I have an absolute passion for Project/Problem-Based Learning. I can't get enough of it. Over the years, I've spent countless hours scouring for good resources. Now....I have it all in one place. Bloomboard has an entire PBL category, and within that category, 16+ COLLECTIONS of resources, all with multiple items in each. It's unbelievable!  

​If you're just starting out or are even slightly interested in (or skeptical about) the wonders of PBL in the classroom at any age, their PBL collection is where you should start!  Not only does this collection come jam-packed with everything you need to dive in, but it also has micro-credentials available! Check out what this collection includes, and then EXPLORE for YOURSELF (because there are more provided than what I highlight below!).  As you're exploring, don't forget to RECOMMEND to other teachers using the "thumbs-up" button in the upper left hand corner of each resource, and SAVE FOR LATER using the "plus sign" inside the circle, located in the upper right hand corner of each resource. SO QUICK & EASY!

PBL gets criticism for being FLUFF. It ABSOLUTELY IS NOT. Make sure you can back up your projects with rigor using this resource!

I LOVE THIS. PBL is a LEARNING EXPERIENCE, both for teachers and students. Watch this PBL FAIL...and learn from other's mistakes!
