TPACK Quest

I think my favourite badge was the PBL badge because I was able to work with a lot of different tools that are useful for problem based learning. The first tool I used was a concept mapping tool in which I plotted questions I wanted answered for building a garden. This was a useful tool because I was able to create the concepts I wanted to view and be able to see them all at once.

Secondly I used two tools that were useful for gathering and analyzing data. I used the timeline tool in which I could create a timeline with a description of each landmark and the trading cards tool where I could create cards for different themes (I picked landmarks in Canada). I enjoyed these tools and hope to implement them in my classroom because they are fun ways to gather data and display it. For instance, if students are doing a project on Canadian land forms the students could create trading cards with important information and interesting facts to share with the class. These tools are more motivating for students because they can create something fun with their data instead of using something like a google doc to store their information. These tools also keep information organized for students to reference! I will definitely use these in the future!
