Review: Reinventing Project-Based Learning: Your Field Guide to Real-World Projects in the Digital Age

Reinventing Project-Based Learning: Your Field Guide to Real-World Projects in the Digital AgeReinventing Project-Based Learning: Your Field Guide to Real-World Projects in the Digital Age by Suzie Boss; Jane Krauss

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


You think you know project-based learning until you read this book. This book was a great review of what you already knew and really made you think about the details of a great project. A lot of planning goes into a fantastic project and it pays off with the quality of the kids work. Reinventing Project-Based Learning will get you started if you are new to project-based learning, brush you up if you are rusty, or help you fine-tune your projects. You really can't go wrong no matter what stage you are at with project-based learning. I heartily recommend it!

This book was right on the money - except for the stereotype that older teachers don't use technology. If you are a teacher and you need a little research to back up your innovative use of technology in the classroom, this is the book for you.
