This past spring, Spirit Lake High School launched a pilot project which explored blended learning in an interdisciplinary classroom featuring project based challenges.

You can access the student's online learning journals (BLOGS) at this site: []

Project Based Learning opened a world of exploration for our students. The Environmental Science content which they learned was synthesized by the students into personal investigations, which ultimately were entered into the first ever Global Google Science Fair!
