Project-Based Learning
and the Web

       

Creating schools for the 21st Century requires less time looking in the rearview mirror and more vision anticipating the road ahead. It was once said that (and I paraphrase), 'Teaching has been an activity undertaken behind closed doors between moderately consenting participants.' It is time to embrace a paradigm shift, one where technology enables students, teachers, and administrators to reach out beyond the school building. It should always be remembered that innovative classrooms are not defined by fixed places but by their spirit of curiosity and collaboration among students, teachers, and others in a true learning community.
