of climate change on polar bear

2.Reduce your carbon footprint
Big Idea - "The Changing Climate" either at home, at school, or in
your community.
In Challenge Based Learning, the "Big Idea" is a broad concept that can be explored in multiple ways, is engaging,
and has importance to students and the larger society. In this unit of study, the "Big Idea" is "The Changing
Climate."
3.Find a disappearing habitat in
Essential Questions
The "Big Idea" allows for the generation of a wide variety of essential questions that should reflect the interests of
the students and the needs of their community. Essential questions identify what is important to know about the
your community and work to
big idea and refine and contextualize that idea.
Below are two such possible essential questions relevant to "The Changing Climate," the "Big Idea" above.
Alternative or additional essential questions can be formulated to meet one's curricular goals.
protect it.
"How does climate change impact animal habitats and people?"
"How do our actions impact the world?"
The Challenge - Three Exemplary Models
From each essential question, a "Challenge" is articulated that asks students to create a specific answer or solution
that can result in concrete, meaningful action. Taking action as part of the process and solution is an important
aspect of Challenge Based Learning.
While a variety of challenges can be developed that are unique to different learning environments, curricular goals,
student interests, and community needs, three exemplary models are presented in relation to the "Big Idea" and

Places you’ll find me to carry on conversation after today
ACOT - 1985 - longitudinal study that asked what would happen when students had access to a computer at school and at home.
Overwhelmingly positive results, however, the missing link was the connectivity-- the network-- to making learning 24/7.
TODAY
What do schools need to make 21st century learning happen right now?
Phase 3 - “For Example” curriculum project -
ACOT2 Curriculum Development Team - our challenge was to simplify that curriculum design element, make it relevant, create a model that teachers could easily implement.
PBL statements are generalizations, and that some PBL projects may have pieces more similar to CBL than indicated by the chart.
