You are a curator of the National Science History Museum of Thailand. You are planning to run an exhibition on endangered species in Thailand. Your task is:1) In a group of three, research on native species in Thailand
(either animal or plants) and select one endangered specie that your group members agreed on.
2) Research on your group’s choice of specie in terms of: - Status (degrees of extinction)- Causes of extinctions - How to protect the specie
3) Create an audio-visual media for the exhibition suitable for 10-15 years olds (e.g., Photo story,slideshows, video clips, etc.)
4) Don’t forget to cite all the sources of information.

Click to edit Master title styleTips from Real Teachers
• Take a baby step: Start with the single-subject approach within classroom.
• Try to tie into the curriculum. • Get supports from the principal and other
teachers.
STILL NOT SURE?

1) Define learning goal(s) – your “question” 2) Expected outputs 3) Conduct context analysis
- Student prior knowledge & ICT readiness- School facility- Curriculum - Inter-school collaboration possibility
Step 1.2 Refine the Topic and Outputs for the PBL
Click to edit Master title style
• Using ICT automatically promotes S-C T&L? • Traditional didactic approaches do not help
21st century skill development and I will teach all the subjects through PBL.
• S-C T&L works well with teachers’ minimal guidance because PBL is to let students discover.
