RP PBL Foundation Training

Today is the second day of my RP PBL Training.

It is very interesting so far. Yesterday, we explored more about learning - deep vs surface learning, and the rationale behind PBL. Today was more about the difference between teaching and facilitating, and what happens and the rationale behind Meeting 1 and Breakout 1.

Also, I've got a new laptop!!!! An Acer TravelMate3040. It's this beauty here:
