Steps For Project Based Digital Learning

Knowledge established Composition Teamed partnership & assignment Storyboard Film shoot Digital editing Spotlight event

The tools allow for student expression.

Why is this such a powerful tool for student learning?

Rief 1993 says that students retain: 10% of what they read 20% of what they hear 30% of what they see 50% of what they see and hear 70% of what they say 90% of what they say and do

Effective teaching usually combines several approaches, or multisensory instruction, so the

child uses more than one sense at a time while learning
