Immersed in the talk of technology at this year’s ISTE conference, I have been thinking a lot about the role technology plays in Project Based Learning. Technology is best taught and learned when a project task requires the specific function the technology offers. So, for example, I am motivated to learn the iMovie software when I need to put together a video compilation for my daughter’s graduation. Similarly, I become highly motivated to use a new Uber App when I have to travel to a new city where I don’t want to drive. So it makes sense that PBL and technology are natural complements and that students learn to use technology as it becomes necessary during a project.
