Shownotes Transcript

In this episode, Jerri and Jamie link up with Grayson McKinney and Zach Rondot—two elementary school teachers using technology to transform learning with a little help from Project Based Learning (PBL). McKinney and Rondot share their insights, expertise, and process for creating classrooms where students learn from experts, then become experts and share their learning with an authentic audience.

Tune in to hear these two teachers discuss examples of PBL and the two books they’ve written to empower teachers and students to become experts in new areas through the project-based learning model.
