As part of our examination of the Information Processing model (IPM), we were given the task of working with a partner to create a professional development treasure hunt based on one of the various methods used in the IPM. My partner and I developed our treasure hunt around Problem Based Learning. The treasure hunt provides students with questions to answer, and internet links to explore to find answers to those questions. Depending on the students age, the answers can be easily obtained from the internet links, or the students could be required to develop their own answers based on the information provided in the internet links. Either way, the students must use critical thinking to decide on the information they think most appropriate for answering the questions. And by using a treasure hunt in the classroom, you are integrating just another tool in reaching your different learners.
