Passion-Based Learning:

Extending the Classroom ==== We are no longer limited to the classroom and contained only by our imaginations! //Learner-centered, lifelong learning has been the cry of knowledge society visionaries for the last decade. Yet learning continues to be delivered with teacher-centric tools in a twelve week format. Society is changing. Learners needs are changing. The course, as a model for learning, is being challenged by communities and networks, which are better able to attend to the varied characteristics of the learning process by using multiple approaches, orchestrated within a learning ecology.// George Siemens

//When we design curriculum that is build around inquiry-driven, project-based learning, where students and teachers work together to create new meaning and deep understandings, then we can use 21st Century tools to allow students to create meaningful, creative and authentic work, using the best available research, while collaborating with and presenting to people from all over the world.// Chris Lehmann

They are typically too big for any one individual to solve but approachable by even the very young. The world is a complex place in which multiple perspectives exist and truth is often a matter of interpretation and reinterpretation as mental models are constructed, deconstructed and reconstructed. Through project-based learning, students have the opportunity to engage real world problems in authentic or simulated contexts through extended learning enterprises.
 * Secondary Example**

What is a project? What is a Project-based learning project? There are many ways of talking about project-based learning. The view adopted here is that successful Project-based learning has these 5 ingredients 1. A guiding question or problem that sets the scene and holds no right or wrong answer 2. Student collaborative research, often over an extended period of time 3. Construction of an artifact or presentation by students, ideally to an extended classroom audience 4. Use of technology-based cognitive and communications tools (ICT) 5. A community of inquiry that can extend beyond the walls of the classroom

Activity: ==**Tony Wagner’s Seven Survival Skills as defined in his most recent book, //The Global Achievement Gap.//**==

If all students are to acquire these survival skills for success in the 21st Century, then what systemic changes must take place in our schools and classrooms? What do good schools look like - schools where all students are mastering skills that matter the most? Give examples and evidence of how you currently incorporate each of these skills into your current classroom practice.

===Critical thinking and problem-solving=== ===Collaboration across networks and leading by influence=== ===Agility and adaptability=== ===Initiative and entrepreneurialism=== ===Effective oral and written communication=== ===Accessing and analyzing information=== ===Curiosity and imagination===

=TPACK and Mini-Units=

=**TPCK Model**= http://www.tpck.org/
 * This is about getting technology into the classroom. We know from diffusions of innovation literature that this is probably the toughest part. Luckily, there's a new model that helps us think about how to develop technological pedagogical content knowledge. You can learn more about this model at the website:**



TPCK Model
1. Get in groups by discipline. Electives (pick a group to join or work together in a group) 2. What are the teacher activities you typically use in your discipline? (pedagogy) 3. Have a discussion and list possible Web 2.0 tools that fit nicely with your disciplines essential instructional activities. 4. Develop a student driven lesson that uses the TPACK relationship and touches the connected learner scale.
 * 4. Report Out**


 * This work is at which level(s) of the connected learner scale?**


 * Share** (Publish and Participate)
 * Connect** (Comment and Cooperate)
 * Remixing** (Building on the ideas of others)
 * Collaborate** (Co-construction of knowledge and meaning)
 * Collective Action** (Social justice, activism, service learning)
