Project Based Learning is an easy way to show the teacher what a student has learned from the lesson. The main goal of PBL is having students put what they know and learn in a project. This gives students an opportunity to know the content instead of memorizing it and teaches the student to analyze information. There are some tools students can use that allow an easier way of working. iCurio is a tool that students can use to safely search educational information. This also allows students and teachers to store content in their own folders and keep their work and saved documents virtually organized. iCurio is for students on any grade level, therefore it's kid friendly. If a student has a disability, iCurio will accommodate to their needs, such as having audio. Another tool would be Discovery Ed. This tool allows the student to not only use texts, but also images for visualization. It helps bring expertise into the classroom. PBL is an easier way of teaching that benefits not only the students, but the teachers as well.
