Project-Based Learning: a Primer
By Gwen Solomon
Walk into team teachers Mike Smith and Jetti Matzke’s
interdisciplinary classroom at Napa New Technology High
School in California and you will see students at work-writing
in online journals, doing research on the Internet, meeting
in groups to plan and create Web sites and digital media
presentations, and evaluating their peers for collaboration
and presentation skills. This setting and these types of
activities have a name and a purpose. It's called projectbased learning, and it's designed to engage students and
empower them with responsibility for their own education in
ways unheard of in traditional classrooms.
