+Excerpts from Edutopia
Creating schools for the 21st Century requires less time looking in the rearview mirror and more vision anticipating the road ahead.
Teaching has been an activity undertaken behind closed doors between moderately consenting participants.
Technology enables students, teachers, and administrators to reach out beyond the school building.
Innovative classrooms are not defined by fixed places but by their spirit of curiosity and collaboration among students, teachers, and others in a true learning community.

Project-Based Learning (PBL)
![Page 6: + Learning In Action! Copyright © 2003 The George Lucas Educational Foundation.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062717/56649e625503460f94b5e6d1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
+What is Project-Based Learning?
PBL is curriculum fueled and standards based.
PBL asks a question or poses a problem that ALL students can answer. Concrete, hands-on experiences come together during project-based learning.
PBL allows students to investigate issues and topics in real-world problems.
PBL fosters abstract, intellectual tasks to explore complex issues.

KNOW the needs of your students.
