Apple Webcast: Challenge Based Learning in Action - Nov. 15th

You're invited!! Please extend this invitation to the November 15th webcast to all those who are interested in making learning relevant.
After two major studies involving 24 schools in three countries and 15 states, over 1,500 students, and 90 teachers, it is clear that challenge based learning (CBL) is one of the strongest ideas that has emerged over that time, with replicable, scalable results for students at nearly every grade level. The approach is consistent with standards-based curricula, and does not require a massive reinvention of schools, or the kind of top-to-bottom overhaul that some say is needed. It is based on a simple but powerful idea — make learning relevant.
Challenge Based Learning allows students to connect more deeply with content by addressing real-world issues. Using a Mac, iPad, iPod touch, and easy-to-use software from Apple, students can engage, create, and collaborate in the classroom and beyond.
In this webcast, our panel of experts will report on a five-month, global Challenge Based Learning project at K12 and HiEd institutions. And reveal key findings, such as the 12 skill areas 90 percent of teachers felt were significantly improved by Challenge Based Learning.
You’ll also see highlights from select case studies. And you’ll hear from guest speakers—including study participants—who’ll demonstrate the resources and possibilities for schools interested in implementing this groundbreaking framework.
