An Introduction to Project Based Learning 6-12

Below is the link to a video about Project Based Learning. Please reflect on the questions below and talk with your colleagues about their thoughts. We will discuss this video and your answers to the questions at our next meeting.

1. One of the students in the video said, "I learn better by learning from my own experiences." Do you believe this is true? If so, how do you facilitate this in your classroom? If not, explain why you feel that way.

2. As the professor from MIT is talking about curriculum, he says, "this means that you put kids in a position to use the knowledge they gain." Describe at least two ways you do this in your classroom that does not involve tests or quizzes.

3. Describe the differences between a traditional setting classroom and a project based learning classroom.
