Synopsis

Lead students through powerful learning experiences with Reinventing Project-Based Learning, a guide for educators, administrators and professional development specialists who want to make the shift to a more student-driven learning model. Explore proven strategies for overcoming the limitations of the traditional classroom, including a wealth of technology tools for inquiry, collaboration and global connection to support this new vision of instructional design.

With rich illustrations and teacher interviews from around the world, Reinventing Project-Based Learning shows you how to design authentic projects that make the most of available and emerging technologies.
