Comments on the Project Based Learning Articles

I chose to read the Houghton Mifflins Project Based Learning Space: An overview of the basics of Project Based Learning and Handbook: Introduction to Project Based Learning on the Buck Institute of Education web page because I am not very familiar with Project Based Learning. After reading these articles, I see my role as a library media specialist as a professional who could assist a classroom on a Project Based Learning project. I see the library as a place that students could use for investigations. I could help students find and use print and online sources. Students could use many Web 2.0 technologies in the library media center to faciliate communication with people outside the school. Presentation and data manipulation tools are also available in the library media center. Students can use a variety of technology tools such as slide shows, multimedia presentations, datadases, graphing software, audio editing, and video editing software. My role would be to help students succeed by offering a variety of services to help them acheive their project goals .
