TRADITIONALLY

TEACHING AND LEARNING TODAY

STUDENTS IN THE DIGITAL AGE

• Do not need to memorize rote facts because they have access to a colossal amount of information at the click of a button.
• Prefer authentic materials to text books.
• Must learn to think critically, collaborate, and solve problems in order to be successful in jobs that don't yet exist.

Project-based Learning
A teaching method in which students gain knowledge and skills by working for an extended period of time to investigate and respond to an engaging and complex question, problem, or challenge.

THE KEYS

HOW CAN YOU GET STARTED?

ACCEPT YOUR NEW ROLE AS:

• Mentor
• Coach
• Guide on the side
• Cheerleader
• Not, the almighty possessor of the information.

STEP 1: IDENTIFY OR GUIDE STUDENTS TO IDENTIFY A REAL WORLD PROBLEM

STEP 2: LET THEM INVESTIGATE IT

STEP 3: ENCOURAGE THEM TO DEVELOP A SOLUTION

STEP 4: LET THEM PRESENT THEIR SOLUTION TO THEIR PEERS

THE RESULTS

• Students internalize information through investigating the topic on their own.
• Students develop knowledge about and solutions to real world problems.
• Students enjoy autonomy over their learning because it can go in a direction that is of interest to them.
