Amy Storer is a curriculum coach in Montgomery ISD outside of Houston, Texas. In today's podcast, Amy shares
several stories about how she started practicing PBL -- or at least she thought she was, but on reflection, it was still
just a 'project.' She then talks about several successful and exciting examples. The overarching theme we keep
hearing from Amy is how she's a constant learner, reaching out to experts (she shares a piece of GOLD about local
experts and distant experts), colleagues, and uses social media to broaden her own expertise in teaching and learning
content.
Follow Amy's ups and downs on her blog, Converse in the Classroom, http://converseintheclassroom.blogspot.com/
where she regularly shares what she and her colleagues are doing, learning, and loving. It's a must-read!
