This week Suzanne and Mike wrap up their discussion on Project-Based Learning and why we think its a great tool. Mike looks at many of the soft skills that are developed during the work involved and Suzanne finds a bunch of encouraging information for teachers who are looking at trying it for the first time. Mike also sat down with Henry Robinson, a 5th grade teacher at German Gerena Community School and delve into how he is using Technology with his students!
