Project-based Learning for Gifted Students by Todd Stanley provides a concise introduction to project-based learning. Although designed for teachers of gifted students, the approaches are useful for all types of learners.[return][return]The book contains lots of templates, worksheets, examples, and other useful information resources.[return][return]Although the book provides a nice overview, it lacks depth and examples. I was looking for more details. In addition, it's billed as a handbook for the 21st-century classroom, however it doesn't provide many new resources beyond what's already been published the past couple decades. Other than a short list of technologies, there are few references to how technology night be used in teaching and learning.
