=What is Project Based Learning? =

According to Suzie Boss and Jane Krauss, authors of Reinventing Project Based Learning:


 * "Projects are for the centerpiece of the curriculum - they are not an add-on or extra at the end of a "real" unit.
 * Students engage in real-world activities and practice the strategies of authentic disciplines.
 * Students work collaboratively to solve problems that matter to them.
 * Technology is integrated as a tool for discovery, collaboration, and communication, taking learners places they couldn't otherwise go and helping teachers achieve essential learning goals in new ways.
 * Increasingly, teachers collaborate to design and implement projects that cross geographic boundaries or even jump time zones."
