Project Based Learning

Project-Based learning allows students to become invested in their own learning. Research shows that students have different learning styles and that those who are engaged and provided a varied approach to their learning, aside from just using textbooks, are often eager and ready to learn more, ask important questions, and develop some critical thinking skills! If educators are able to provide a learning environment where students can more actively participate in their own interests and learning in an engaging, challenging and stimulating manner, we can see some exciting results!

Over the years many different terms have been used to explain this active and creative learning style - Experiential  Learning, Hands-on Learning, Problem-Based Learning, or Inquiry Learning. This video shares with you some examples of students and teachers involved in active project based learning activities.

Think about one lesson that you do with your students and think of how you could open it up to a more project-based learning activity! More tangible, hands-on LEARNING and more FUN for everyone!!
