I also used Google Documents, WSQ charts, and chats to keep my students accountable and to check on their comprehension of the concepts. I'm thinking about creating tutorials for a complete unit and then embedding that onto Edmodo. That will really allow my students to move at their own pace.
Last year I used K-5 Math Teaching Resources a lot for activities to help my students practice the skills they learned while watching the videos. My students really liked working with partners and in small groups. To them it was more like playing a game than doing math. They also created their own videos using Educreations to explain concepts.
So . . . next year I want to include some PBL in my class. What resources have you found that would work in elementary classrooms? I know they're out there.
