Active learning keeps the students more engaged and willing to
learn, and real-world problems capture their interest and provoke serious
thinking. It inspires the students to obtain a deeper knowledge of what they're
studying and apply it in a problem-solving context.
While working in small collaborative groups, our students
investigate meaningful questions that require them to gather information and
think critically.
In
the process, they learn key academic content, hone their organizational and
research skills, practice 21st Century Skills (such as collaboration,
communication & critical thinking), and create high-quality, authentic
products & presentations.
This kind of learning is
also an effective way to integrate technology into the curriculum. A typical
project can easily accommodate computers and the Internet, as well as
interactive whiteboards, digital still cameras, video cameras, and associated
editing equipment.
The following are some of the students’ project presentations.
