Project based learning is a student-centered approach where students explore real-world problems and challenges. It has the teacher acting as a facilitator while students work collaboratively to find solutions. Key characteristics include addressing issues students find meaningful, motivating advanced thinking skills, and promoting collaboration. Experts say students retain knowledge better through project based learning since they learn by doing, questioning, and critical thinking. In 21st century education, it makes school more authentic and results in deeper, self-directed learning.

Technology gives students the opportunity to take their education
into their own hands.
For example, students can use a tool such as Movie Maker to aid not
only in their understanding of a subject, but their classmates as well.
By creating a movie about their current lesson, Movie Maker
encourages students to communicate with each other and to learn to
use new technology.
Movie Maker is also an effective tool in evaluating a students
