Stephen Downes

Knowledge, Learning, Community

My favourite learning experiences when I was in school in the 1970s were my projects. Like the one I did on Ecuador, after writing the embassy, or the Danube River, after writing a whole bunch of embassies, or the closed ecosystem project, or... well, you get the idea. I enjoyed the whole process, from the original idea to realizing the finished outcome. Still enjoy it. Now as usual this eSchool News article is far too short to really appreciate, but it does have some useful commentary about transitioning from more traditional models to project-based models of learning, some discussion of the skills instructors will need, and of timelines and expectations. (p.s. I really hate the stock photo image for this article with the squeaky-clean kids that has nothing to do with project-based learning).
