Project Based Learning + Technology = Deeper Learning

Project Based Learning + Technology = Deeper Learning

This article was a blog post by Bob Lenz & Sally Kingston on the P21 Partnership for 21st Century Learning website. The post is about the benefits of integrating project based learning with technology to make learning meaningful, relevant, and rigorous resulting in deeper learning. The benefits of deeper learning, which is the goal, include academic achievement, critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, self-directed learning and an academic mindset. Technology can increase student engagements and motivation and so can project based learning. Kids love creating projects and they love technology. If these two are combined and done well you will have deeper learning which is the ultimate goal!
