Problem Based Learning Presentation

The resources listed below and on my Wiki page educated me in what PBL is and how to use it in a classroom. Different aspects are explored; all the sites have a positive view regarding PBL. I will use suggested techniques from this internet search during my presentation. I searched for this information with the goal of accessing material that was both informative and interesting. I looked at many You Tube videos before choosing the two on my Wiki page. I thought they could hold interest as well as explain PBL. The Internet has multiple sites about PBL, again I looked for interesting and informative sites. I also looked for sites that had depth of material on the topic. I hope that you agree with me. I will use suggested techniques from this internet search during my presentation.

I found this video on you tube. it isn't about nurses, it's about older people and technology. Learning about blogging and wiki spaces is really new to me and evidentally a lot of older people feel the same way.
