Project Based Learning, PBL, goes beyond the typical research and deliver “projects” so familiar to teachers and students. PBL focuses as much on the process of instruction and strategies as on the product. Projects engage students and matter to them. Topics are relevant. Depending on their age, students can be guided or become self-guided to formulate their own challenges and questions and procedures to reach goals they deem important to success. Critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, discovery, use of technology and presenting to an audience are essential, self-evolving pieces of PBL projects.
