In PBL, teachers serve as co-designers, guides and facilitators providing students
with different possibilities to gather answers. PBL creates a challenge to
align the need-to-knows with standards focusing both on content and skills used,
making the activity totally engaging. Skills such as effective presentation as
students are to present to a real audience, working in groups and problem
solving are essential. While in traditional projects, hard work has already
been done even before the project is accomplished. Teachers hold students
accountable for the grades that they will get while in PBL, teachers serve as
coaches guiding students to make connections. Traditional projects require all
students to go through the same steps producing the same final products and
teachers are deemed to have the right answers while PBL provide differentiated
scaffoldings and engagements allowing variety in final products. Students are also
empowered to get the right answers from the web.
