Fast trend: Shiftto deeper learning approaches: Project-based learning, problem-based learning, inquiry-based learning, challenge- based learning, and similar methods foster more active learning experiences, both inside and outside the classroom. As technologies such as tablets and smartphones are more readily accepted in schools, educators are leveraging these tools, which students already use, to connect the curriculum with real life applications. These active learning approaches are decidedly more student-centered, allowing learners to take control of how they engage with a subject and to brainstorm and implement solutions to pressing local and global problems. http://www.nmc.org/publications/2014-horizon-report-k12
