Introduction to PBL Power Point

Below is a Introduction to Project-Based Learning Power Point.  It’s nothing fancy – I chose not to do a Prezi because of the amount of info I included.  It’s full of information on the Why, The What, and The How and there are links to a tremendous amount of resources. …
