Project Based Learning
One of the strategies we use at Saturn "Project Based Learning," otherwise known simply by its initials, "PBL." What is this?
In a nutshell:
"PBL is the act of learning through identifying a real-world problem and developing its solution. Kids show what they learn as they journey through the unit, not just at the end."
A more formal definition:
"PBL is the ongoing act of learning about different subjects simultaneously. This is achieved by guiding students to identify, through research, a real-world problem (local to global) developing its solution using evidence to support the claim, and presenting the solution through a multimedia approach based in a set of 21st-century tools."
