Some of the feedback I have received includes:

Anjalis feedback:

On reflection the lesson I had in mind was at the lower end of the cognitive scale. With the expertise and influence of Gaye however I was able to extend it into a more sophisticated task. This was done by asking an open question that allowed a variety of responses to be valid while at the same time involving students mathematical and numeracy skills.
The question also included a personal aspect with a real life context. This allowed for leading questions to be asked that were personalised.

The final aspect for a PBL Task that Gaye outlined as being important was that of a product. This allows students to share their learning. On this occasion I advised students to create a Studywiz Blog entry. In the future however this could also be made more open.

Other interesting points to come out of this discussion with Gaye included:

• The ordering of reporting back by studenst as a scaffold for student understanding, this would also allow
  • all studenst responses to be valued
  • building on each students knowledge to achieve the learning outcome required
  • meaning making
• Making explorations with PBL at the start of a unit of work and using these as starting points.
• The Japanese approach of using peer observation for the polishing of learning tasks
