Project Based Learning

When I become a teacher, I would definitely use the project based learning method. I love that it involves collaboration and critical thinking skills. I would use it if was teaching a geography class. I would have three students per group. Each group would work interdependently to do a project on a continent that I choose for them. They would talk about countries found on that continent, estimated population for that continent, events that occurred within that continent, and surprising facts about that continent. They would learn information about the continent they previously did not know. If I was teaching a science class, I would use project based learning to help my students learn more about energy. They would be able to get as creative as they like. They would be able to present using technology, posters, 3-D visuals, and more. I cannot wait to teach using project based learning in my future class. Also, I like project based learning as a student.
