10 Practical Ideas For Better Project-Based Learning In Your Classroom

10 Practical Ideas For Better Project-Based Learning In Your Classroom | STEM Best Practices K-12 | Scoop.it

“Project-based learning is a powerful approach to teaching. This approach allows students to learn content in a manner similar to how they will work during the rest of their lives. PBL provides teachers with easy avenues to engage students with real world problems that are relevant to the learning community. It is possible to teach multiple subjects simultaneously and make connections outside the classroom.

Nancy White's insight:

I am pleased to see the idea that the focus for PBL should be the skills - it is so important to give students opportunity to receive feedback on skills like problem solving, crticial thinking, and creativity.
