"Not only does project based learning motivate students because it is an authentic use of technology, it facilitates active learning, critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity. Projects begin with a driving question–an open-ended question that sets the stage for the project by creating interest and curiosity."
Beth Dichter's insight:
This post by Tony Vincent provides an in-depth look at how to craft driving questions that promote project based learning. It begins with a discussion of why you would choose to use driving questions and then turns to projects and shares what he believes makes a good project, one that will make a "dent" in the world. Additional areas explored include: * What comes first,the driving question or the learning goals? * Who writes the question? * The many types of driving questions (and the list includes seven categories) as well as resources that will help you craft a driving question. * Refining the question * Outcomes * Branching questions There are quite a few examples of driving questions provided as well as links to some additional resources. If you are planning on having project based learning a component of your classroom this post provides great foundational material to help you create a great driving question.

This is a great post. Key ideas to use driving questions, tap into student passion and inspire meaningful learning.
Grabbing their attention in the beginning with great questions will give them the stamina to grapple with the inquiry process later.
