Project Based Learning (PBL)
• Choice - By allowing students to make
choices at various levels in
projects/assignments, you are expanding
their creativity which aligns with ISTE nets.
• Students take ownership for their
learning – Pre-requisite
learning, frustrations, challenges, celebration
s, etc.
• Sharing - each others’ work is key for
collaboration, therefore you can learn from
one another.
