In project based learning students are driven to learn content and skills for an authentic purpose. PBL involves students in explaining their answers to real-life questions, problems, or challenges. It starts with a driving question that leads to inquiry and investigation. Students work to create a product or presentation as their response to the driving question.

I’ve written a primer for each of the three major components of project based learning. I share useful websites and apps as I tell you about my take on project based learning.
