It’s time to start thinking outside the box! Teachers often think projects take too much time to plan or don’t know how to align them with the curriculum. PBLs are an effective and enjoyable way to learn which allows students to work as a team, reflect, ask questions, build confidence, work with a purpose, problem solve, and learn time management. Investigate what essential questions, unit questions, and content questions will enable you to develop your own PBL unit using digital tools. Return to your classroom with a PBL unit you create that will excite and engage your students as they claim ownership of their learning.
