I really appreciate the team's hard work! Given that it's only mid-October, we are actually way ahead of many schools. Mary, I really appreciate you contributing to this blog!!

Doug and I had a brief conversion about his PBL workshop experience. I've been watching a lot of webinars while I'm home coughing. I'm wondering if we are communicating the Big ideas and essential questions to the students? How could we communicate what we are doing to the whole school?

 * Some Challenge Based Learning links:**

Discussions seem (I'm not sure yet) to be linked to a single page. Therefore, if we want a single place for open discussions, we'll have to label a page specifically for that purpose. I think I understand why the TTL course used tables now.

A number of our PBL activities are STEM related. I'm hoping to find some good STEM resources at the SOITA Conference next week. I think combining the Challenge Based process with the STEM curriculum can have a positive effect on students value for a subject.
