Standardized Testing and PBL

The article from edutopia about standardized testing and PBL was meant to give tips to teachers about utilizing PBL while still maintaining their prep for standardized testing. I think this is a great idea. Instead of waiting until after testing, teachers should just tailor their projects to work within whatever constraints their testing schedule puts on them. I have been doing a lot of reading about using PBL in the classroom and think this would be a great thing to try next year.
