Learning With Projects

Project Based Learning in a global classroom is about as close as a kid can get to the real world - while being in school all day! We keep a project atmosphere alive in all that we do. That means we stay open-minded about assignments and discussions, recognizing that everybody knows something about something, and nobody knows everything about everything - even the teacher! Hmmm so that means that the knowledge is among all of us! Students' great ideas often reshape our whole lesson plans!  Kids use their thinking skills and communicate, plan, problem solve, create, and evaluate. Here are some projects and partners we're playing with.
