What is Project Based Learning?
In Project-based learning, students work in teams to explore real-world problems and create presentations to share what they have learned. Compared with learning solely from textbooks, this approach has many benefits for students, including:
- Deeper knowledge of subject matter;
- Increased self-direction and motivation;
- Improved research and problem-solving skills.

Some websites that offer good information on project based learning:
This Range of Use chart graphically represents the categories of technology use in 3-dimensions to help educators 'see' that:
- instructional approach, level of challenge, and authenticity matter
- low performing students don't have to be relegated to drill and practice, or integrated learning systems, but can learn the basics as they engage across a range of uses
- all uses are valid provided they truly meet learners' need
