Project Learning: Schools That Work

As we begin to shape our ideas about the future of WCS and technology integration, I feel it important to observe different types of schools. Members of our Technology Steering Comittee will be visiting The Nueva School & High Tech High next week. My gut tells me that we will see learning constructed in a similar fashion to the video below. In my opinion, the best "takeaway" from this video is the idea that Project Based Learning and 1-to-1 Computing go hand in hand... Neither should exist in a vacuum. Enjoy!

P.S. Check back to the blog for daily journal entries of our Tech Trip next week... I will do everything I can to upload pictures and possibly video of all that we see and do to extend the learning for all who couldn't be there!
