Technology-integrated k-8 project-based learning

In order to produce higher student achievement and engagement, this project focuses on how K-8 educators can implement research-based curricula in which technology immersion and project-based learning (PBL) are integrated. Tech PBL for All ( http://techpblforall.weebly.com) is a resource guide constructed from a successful model of technology-integrated PBL based on a comprehensive review of the literature. With the implementation of the Common Core State Standards, teachers have had to make many changes to their pedagogy. The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) are next in line for implementation and teachers need to be prepared for this major shift in what students are expected to know in relation to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). This resource guide provides teachers with easy access to technology-integrated PBL resources that will lead them in creating a student-centered classroom that focuses on content knowledge in STEM while building students' 21st century skills.
