You’re not doing PBL wrong, just differently

“All this time, I was doing it wrong.”

Since Erin and I released Hacking Project Based Learning this past December, we have been happy to hear from teachers and students who are benefiting from what we wrote. At the same time, we have received several messages that look like the one above. These are messages in which readers imply our book, and the #HackingPBL framework, is the one way to do to project based learning (PBL). And, since they weren’t doing it this way, they were falling short.

I like to say that with technology, there are at least 3 different ways to do any one task. Ross takes this idea a step further, as it applies to project based learning.
