Project-based learning is an excellent teaching strategy that is designed to get students involved in the community and participating in authentic learning experiences. The PBL process moves students away from direct instruction toward collaboration and learning through relating. This is particularly true when the experiences are student-directed; projects are designed and led by the students themselves. This short video is an introduction to self-directed project based learning and the power that it has to transform classroom learning.
