Project Pals

We focus on “How to solve the problem.”   Project Pals is the premier student-directed, knowledge-building environment for the modern classroom project.    Project Pals is transforming the traditional research paper from a process of searching information for the “one right answer,” into a dynamic, collaborative, web-based process of discovery and deep learning, instilling students with vital 21st Century skills to solve complex problems in a group setting.    Project Pals uses a methodical approach to problem solving that involves:   Guiding students to ask the right questions Setting goals and self-directed learning Managing group dynamics and tasks Organizing information in patterns Modeling problems Analyzing and synthesizing information Creating reports to demonstrate knowledge gained
