=Content Ideas= Below is a list of links to Problem-Based Learning Scenarios for which you all contributed ideas in your content areas. Select a scenario to see ideas compiled from all participants. Additionally, each scenario will have links to specific content area information, tutorials, etc.

The goal of this is for you to gather more ideas for PBL multi-disciplinary activities in your classroom. This is not a one-size-fits-all experience, so each of you may be working on completely different things. What you will do is click on one of the topic/scenarios below. Read through that scenario. Is it something you want to get into further? If so, click on a content area of your choice. Each content area page was designed to have an activity that you would do and post what you did in the activity. If you hit one that does not have an activity, please contact the appropriate person for that area: Math - Dr. Alonzo Peterson afpeterson@lunet.edu Science - Dr. Jean Dockers jean.dockers@okstate.edu Language Arts - Dr. Becky Damron rebecca.damron@okstate.edu Engineering - Dr. Karen High karen.high@okstate.edu Library Media/Technology - Dr. Susan Stansberry susan.stansberry@okstate.edu We did not have a Social Studies specialist in this grant, so I would suggest you go to the Library Media/Technology links, as they are relevant to all subjects. You need to spend approximately six hours for us to count you as having participated fully in the Follow Up day. This is why you need to post whatever the activity calls for to the wiki with your name on it. Please use your own professional judgement regarding how you can best use this time and these resources. This is not an activity to jump through prescribed hoops and check your name off; you are going to have to decide how best to use time and resources.
