| Schools are discovering that handhelds like iPod touch and iPad make great learning tools. In fact, handhelds can play a big part in project-based learning. Not only do projects motivate students because they use exciting mobile technology, but they also lend themselves to student voice and choice. Be inspired to bring project-based learning into your classroom, learn strategies for creating effective driving questions, and see how an iPod touch or iPad can play a role in the the planning, investigation, and presentation of projects. |
