In Project Based Learning (PBL), students go through an extended process of inquiry in response to a complex question, problem, or challenge. While allowing for some degree of student 'voice and choice,' rigorous projects are carefully planned, managed, and assessed to help students learn key academic content, practice 21st century skills (such as collaboration, communication and critical thinking), and create high-quality, authentic products and presentations.”

Maree Whiteley's insight:
Everyone loves playing games, right? Games can teach really well, it’s systems thinking, strategic logic and reasoning.
