12 Ways to Know if You're in a Project-Based Learning Environment or Merely Having Kids Create Projects in Your Classroom - Ginger Lewman | Educational Pedagogy | Scoop.it
I often talk with educators (and parents and administrators) who are convinced that their students are working within Project Based Learning environments. They tell me about the wonderful projects the kids have created and how much fun the kids have. I’m always delighted to hear the kids are having fun in school! However, I find that when asked a few probing questions, it becomes clear whether or not PBL is actually happening or if the teachers are merely creating projects for students to complete.
