Project-Based Learning

Three important things I learned from the reading are that problem-based learning challenges students to solve problems or do simulations that mimic real life, projects tend to be more open-ended than problem-based learning, giving students more choice when it comes to demonstrating what they know, and teachers may benefit from professional development to help them expand their classroom "tool kit" of teaching strategies, but the most important thing I learned is that knowing how to solve problems, work collaboratively, and think innovatively are becoming essential skills.

This picture represents the essential skills that students should know. These skills, as mentioned before, are how to solve problems, work collaboratively, and think innovatively.
