Why Do So Many Schools Want to Implement Project Based Learning, But So Few Actually Do? | EdSurge News
In a world where so much knowledge is a two-second search away, many schools are losing interest in models that promote static learning to know. They’re looking to embrace dynamic models that promote learning to do and learning to be.
