What is Project-Based Learning?

"Project-based learning (PBL) is a model for classroom activity that shifts away from the classroom practices of short, isolated teacher-centered lessons and instead emphasizes learning activites that are long-term, interdisciplinary, student-centered, and integrated with real world issues and practices."
