While eating lunch today between sessions of my class, I read through this white paper by Dr. Jonathan Becker and associates on technology literacy, in connection with project-based learning with Generation YES. It was a new find for me (tweeted by the good professor) and did a good job at explaining the “whys” behind project-based approaches.
As I continue to refine and re-think our G21 (Goochland Twenty-First Century Skills) projects and framework, I think this will be a valuable resource to share with teachers and administrators.
