What is Project-Based Learning (PBL)?

According to [|Wikipedia], **Project based learning**, or PBL, is a constructivist pedagogy that intends to bring about deep learning by allowing learners to use an inquiry based approach to engage with issues and questions that are rich, real and relevant to their lives. This strategy is well served since the onset of the read/write Web. Teachers have ready made content easily available via the Web and the tools to allow for creative student directed creation of content related to the problems and questions contained in the project being studied. media type="youtube" key="LMCZvGesRz8" height="390" width="640"
