What matters most is not the moment when the student uses
the technology but how that use promotes improvement in that student's
education. - S. Ehrmann California Standards:
PBL is an instructional method in which the student has control of their learning. The teacher role is more of a coach, guide, and/or facilitator. The students are asking real world questions that are also standards-based, researching the answers to those questions, synthesizing the information, and producing a multimedia presentation of what they learned. PBL provides opportunities for both students and teachers: PBL gives students the best opportunity to use and develop higher level thinking skills and it provides the teacher a current approach for integrating computer technology with standards-based curriculum.
