Communication in PBL
Communication is the 4th C in project based learning. Communication includes:
- explanation of ideas and information,
- organization,
- eye and body,
- voice,
- presentation aids,
- response to audience questions, and
- participation in team presentations.
Communication requires students to work through the process of creating for an authentic audience, both individually and in groups. One of the most important aspects of communication in project based learning is preparing and practicing for the product end. Communication must also be logical and complete, following a path that makes sense to the intended audience.
In addition, communication goes beyond presentations and product. All work within a team requires the use of communication skills as does any work with our outside stakeholders and in-district staff.
Mrs. Schmitt's Foods 1 class used communication skills in their first lab last week while preparing appetizers to share among the class.
