Through the journey of project based learning it's important to keep in mind that the technology world is part of every students life and by incorporating project based learning, students will be able to utilize their technology to think critically and problem solve. Project based learning also helps to bring the real world into the classroom. A lot of times students ask, "When will I ever use this in real life?" by incorporating project based learning students will be able to have a more authentic approach to their learning. Some of the benefits of project based learning are that as I've stated previously is that it promotes critical thinking and problem solving in the students. In addition this learning style allows a shared responsibility in the classroom between students and teacher. Since the teacher is learning with the students it helps to make students feel a sense of responsibility and leadership in their classroom. It also makes their learning more personal and meaningful to them. The issues with PBL is that many school districts are not on board with PBL.
I also like PBL because it incorporates technology which we all need to know how to use because it is a fast growing way of teaching.
