Problem-Based Learning With the Internet: Grades 3-6

by William J. Stepien

The Internet can be a powerful classroom learning tool if properly understood and utilized. This guide coaches both educators and students on using the Internet to solve complex problems. Teachers are introduced to how the Internet is organized and how to access its resources without too much technical information. Students are given eight problem-based learning scenarios that put them in the role of a particular character. Successful completion of these scenarios requires extensive Internet research and all the steps of problem solving, including mapping and defining. Teaching notes and reproducible problem logs are included.

This is a good book! I plan to use the lesson immediately, and more importantly, I plan to create my own to compact my curriculum. The book provides a plan to help you create your own Problem-Based Learning Units.
