I asked a question asking if anyone had videos explaining problem based learning or demonstrating it in practice. Within a couple of minutes I had the following responses.

@clear_mason_jar:
The Avalon School in MN practices student-led PBL. Here are some resources: http://www.avalonschool.org/project-based-learning-pbl/ #edchat

@cybraryman1:
My Project Based Learning (PBL) page (includes rubrics, checklists): http://bit.ly/aNw4Z0 #edchat

@tomwhitby:

@isteconnects:
@davidwees Yes - plugging my own blog, but I really love how Susan @ Akron Inventor's School described PBL http://bit.ly/bf5vPa #edchat

@chrismayoh:
@davidwees A great video of work we've done at our school which touches on some PBL themes. Teachers TV link: http://bit.ly/afkMtY #edchat

@TheDSCWay:

@blairteach:
"Complete Guide to Project-based Learning" (but links include problem-based learning, too): http://bit.ly/c0I2J3 #edchat

I'll check these all out more later, but looks like a great collection of PBL videos! Thanks PLN.
