Project-Based Learning - A Short Story

Three important things I learned from the reading today are:

1.) When the project approach takes hold in the classroom, students gain opportunities to engage in real-world problem solving, too.

2.) Projects are typically framed with open-ended questions that drive students to investigate, do research, or construct their own solutions.

3.) Although PBL applies across disciplines, it consistently emphasizes active, student-directed learning.

The most important thing I learned is that learning to read is no longer enough. Today's students must to be able to navigate and evaluate a vast store of information. This requires fluency in technology along with the development of critical-thinking skills.
