Part A- Description of Need or Opportunity

• Challenge Based Learning (CBL), “Challenge Based Learning is collaborative and hands-on, asking students to work with other students, their teachers, and experts in their communities and around the world to develop deeper knowledge of the subjects students are studying, accept and solve challenges, take action, share their experience, and enter into a global discussion about important issues (Apple website: http://ali.apple.com/cbl/).”
• CBL is closely tied to technology. You will not be able to use this framework without technology. You will need to utilize iPods, iPads, Mac laptops, internet, and anything else that falls under a technology device.
• Logistics of solution:
  
  
1. CBL can be used k-grade 20. Teachers and Professors will utilize this new frame work throughout their course. This can be used for the rest of their teaching career.
2.  There truly is no limit with this new framework.
• Apple has conducted the research and pilot program as well as developed CBL. I will also utilize Google Scholar to see if there are any published articles other than what Apple has put out there.
• Since I am not a teacher and do not have access to students I was going to use the research that has already been conducted for the implementation portion.
• Indicators of a successful project would be teachers adapting CBL into their lesson plans.
