A few weeks ago I discovered Edutopia.org, a Web site dedicated to promoting positive trends and best practices in the K-12 arena. Funded by the George Lucas foundation, the Web site devotes a lot of space to project-based learning -- an approach to learning that is at the foundation of our curriculum at Giant Campus. With our roots in the summer camp world, we've always been big proponents of learning by doing; it's what our learners expect when they attend our programs. More recently, we have begun to realize how much our students are learning about other things, like teamwork, leadership skills and problem solving when they spend their summers with us. It's cool to see the project-based approach gaining ground in all sectors of the education world!
