Each stand-alone session took an in-depth look at a specific aspect of implementing project-based learning.

Participants were encouraged to post their questions and good ideas in advance of each session in the PBL Better with Practice Group in Classroom 2.0.. The conversations continue beyond the webinars as more individuals join the group and enter the conversations.

Project Foundry is a web-based management tool specifically designed to help students and teachers better manage project-based learning by streamlining the paperwork, building student portfolios, and validating learning outcomes.

“Suzie and Jane truly get the challenges practitioners face trying to implement more authentic, individualized learning via projects,” said Shane Krukowski, Managing Director of Project-based Learning Systems. “As former practitioners and people passionate about creating tools that facilitate more dynamic learning environments, we were thrilled to be a part of the ‘Better with Practice’ series.”
