Project learning

Project learning, also known as project-based learning, is a method of instruction that has been increasingly embedded within STEM-subject curriculum.  Current research shows that much STEM education is being integrated through project-based learning, and with the involvement of Internet technologies, 21st century students are provided with ‘real-world’ opportunities for demonstrating mastery of the content taught.  In these forms of project, students work collaboratively in groups to explore concepts, analyze data, and develop solutions.  The following website, Edutopia, is a great teacher resource that provides videos, blogs, lesson plans for K-12, and many more material.  Visit the site at www.edutopia.com.


The video below shows the how project-learning can be implemented into curriculum.

    I really like Edutopia, it provides educators with various types of resources. I really like the blogs, reading about different educators points of view and instructional methods are very helpful.
    I really enjoyed the video on technology integratin and found it very interesting how they incorporated technology into cheerleading practice to improve effectiveness.
