Reinventing Project-Based Learning
Wednesday, October 24, 2007

Suzie Boss
& Jane Krauss
|
Technology around us changes faster than our teaching
practices do, and Jane Krauss and Suzie Boss will help educators shift
their thinking about the role of technology from technology IN context
(tech integration) to technology AS context. They look at the
education functions of emerging technology tools and offer guided
activities and authentic stories that help teachers imagine, design and
implement projects.
This Webinar will help to build awareness of new
tools and models that are emerging to shape the context for teaching and
learning.
A myriad of stories from the field illustrate approaches to projects
from around the world, and show how different PBL models play out in
different school contexts.
