Project-Based Learning(PBL) Class Walls

I recently same across Project based Learning Connections which is a great website to learn more about PBL. They have some incredible resources ranging from launching, planning and assessing PBL in your class. One of the ideas that really intrigued me was the Dynamic Project Walls. The website lists 8 competencies and a rubric to reflect upon the creation of your own Project Wall. The walls may look cluttered, but are a great way to scaffold and document the learning process. The notion of the Third Teacher argues that students learn from their environment; this can mean geographically, socially, creative field trips or even the physical layout of the classroom. We need to optimize what we put on our walls and ask is it really helping or just distracting our students? I can't wait to try this in my class. Updates to come once it is up.
