The On-line School

David Burke

Challenge Based Learning (CBL) is an engaging multidisciplinary approach to teaching and learning that encourages students to leverage the technology they use in their daily lives to solve real-world problems.

It is collaborative and hands-on, asking students to work with peers, teachers, and experts in their communities and around the world to ask good questions, develop deeper subject area knowledge, accept and solve challenges, take action, and share their experience. 

In this CBL workshop, participants will explore the notion of CBL and participate in a CBL activity.

To participate you will need:

1. •MacBook
   

2. •iWork
   

3. •iPod Touch, iPhone (Optional)
