PBL insight

So, I have recently been working on a group PBL project using Google Docs.  The project itself is very good I think.  In fact, my school just recently did something similar on the November 2nd teacher workday.  We had different staff members teach the rest of the staff different technology sessions.  Teachers were able to sign up for the sessions they wanted to attend. 
The PBL my group created deals with Comic Life and Voice Thread.  I found collaborating on a project using Google Docs to be very effective.  It is very hard to collaborate when you are not all face-to-face, and not everyone knows what is going on.  Google Docs helped to make the collaboration part a little easier since we could not be face-to-face to complete the project.  I wish there had been more editing by my classmates because to me that is one of the purposes of Google Docs...to be able to edit each other's work. 
I have learned more about how hard it is to complete group projects.  Being the type of person that likes to get my work done, I sometimes find it hard to work in groups.  Fortunately for this project we all got our work done in the timeframe we set for ourselves and I wasn't the person that had to wait on everyone to complete their work either.  We still have time to get everything put together to submit. 
I think PBL projects are very useful in the classroom and the more I learn about PBL, the more I want to use it in my own classroom.  I do some PBL lessons, but I need to incorporate more PBL lessons with technology in my classroom. 
Overall, I really enjoyed working on this project and think that PBL is a very effective tool to use in the classroom.  PBL needs to be shared with other teachers so that learning can be engaging for our students.
