At the same time, what do you see as distinctive between the core pillars of project-based learning and the current emphasis on Web 2.0 tools and 1:to:1 laptop programs?
1:to:1 laptop programs are an essential precondition to a 21st Century classroom, but it's potential will go totally unrealized unless schools switch from traditional education to learning through projects.
Web 2.0 tools make possible the Read/Write web, which allows students to use blogs to self-publish their writings and multimedia products. Web 2.0 tools give added power to project learning students to share their work with authentic audiences.
All these new tools have great implications in designing the classroom learning environments of the 21st Century.
Project-Based Learning (PBL) is an innovative approach to learning that teaches a multitude of strategies critical for success in the twenty-first century. Students drive their own learning through inquiry, as wellas work collaboratively to research and create projectsthat reflect their knowledge.
