Project based learning is a large part of maker learning. It is the ongoing act of learning about different subjects simultaneously. This is achieved by guiding students to identify, through research, a real-world problem (local to global) developing its solution using evidence to support the claim, and presenting the solution through a multimedia approach based in a set of 21st-century tools. Focus on the process. Process = Formative assessment & Final project/presentation = Summative assessment
Students show what they learn as they journey through the design process.
