2. How can I use projects to enhance student learning?

Projects in the classroom allow students to be more engaged in their learning. They provide ways for students to act out what they have learned and apply certain skills, knowledge, and processess - and allow teachers to access the students' ability to apply the concepts they have learned. Authentic assessments can effectively access the student's ability to correctly and effectively demonstrate the skills and concepts they have learned! Portfolios, art activities, presentations, skits, mutlimedia presentations, blogs, online collaborating, and online surveys are a few of the assessments that can be used as projects to make learning more fun, interesting, productive, and assessible.
